A Conversation with Nadia Abu El-Haj, Judith Butler, and Kendall Thomas, moderated by Marianne Hirsch and Jean Howard
RSVP HERE
In the midst of several brutal wars, is it possible to think beyond and against the inevitability of war, nationalism, and militarism? Do the traditions of refusal offered by antiwar feminist, decolonial, and antiracist thinkers and social movements provide useful ways to shift the frames of war? Can an ethics of nonviolence, care, and reparative justice serve as a horizon of possibility at this moment?
This event is sponsored by The University Seminar on Cultural Memory, Columbia Maison Française, Department of Middle Eastern, South Asian and African Studies, Institute for the Study of Gender and Sexuality, Barnard Women and Gender Studies, The Studio for Law and Culture, and Columbia Law School.
