Join CSER as we present the first speaker for our Spring 2024 Seminar Series: Dr. Michelle Stephens of Rutgers University. She is a Professor of English and Latino & Caribbean Studies as well as the Founding Director of the Institute for the Study of Global Racial Justice.
In her talk, Race, Ethnic Studies, and the Human, Dr. Stephens will explore some of Sylvia Wynter’s key insights from the 1960s and 1970s onward, understanding her legacy through the lenses of both Foucault’s notion of a disqualified knowledge, and Deleuze’s description of the profound discrepancy between a logic of representation and a logic of difference. In so doing, the talk sets the stage for exploring how the vision, and mission, of ethnic and race studies projects might help set a new agenda for humanness and its futures.
