Social Ontologies of Oppression, Solidarity, and Care - Hybrid Workshop

SHOW DETAILS

When: Friday, February 18, 2022
1:00 PM - 5:00 PM CT

Cost: Free

Contact: Annette Martín  

Group: Alice Kaplan Institute for the Humanities

Co-Sponsor: Department of Political Science

Category: Academic, Lectures & Meetings

Description:

What agency and caring relationships can we forge under oppression? What relationship does alienation have to social identities of gender and race? What does it mean to care about, and be a comrade to those we do not know? Is intersectionality a claim about the structure of the social world or a methodological perspective?

This workshop will bring together a set of 8 junior scholars from across the US to present articles and book chapters in progress on the ontology of oppression, solidarity, care, intersectionality, and alienation from a broadly humanistic perspective. The workshop will emphasize philosophical, historical, and interdisciplinary approaches to illuminating urgent political issues concerning race, gender, class, solidarity, and collective emancipation.

This is a hybrid, pre-read workshop. Registration is required.
