Description:

The Northwestern Colloquium for Ethnicity and Diaspora provides a space for interrogating current issues of citizenship, race, and ethnicity. Join us for a panel that examines how national and state power leads to criminalization of racialized, gendered, queer(ed), and classed bodies.

Speakers will focus on the impact of visual culture in shaping continual and momentary “states of emergency” and the way that this violence is documented, archived, and remembered.

This event is cosponsored by Mary and Leigh Block Museum of Art, Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences (WCAS), Department of African American Studies, Program in American Studies, Department of Anthropology, Department of English, Latina and Latino Studies Program, Department of Performance Studies, Department of Radio-TV- Film, Department of Religious Studies, Program in Rhetoric and Public Culture, Center for Civic Engagement, Department of History, Initiative for Race and Diaspora Cluster, Department of Art History, Alice Kaplan Institute for the Humanities, Gender and Sexuality Program
