Join us for informal discussion with Christina Sharpe, Associate Professor of English, Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies and Africana Studies at Tufts University. She is the author of two books: Monstrous Intimacies: Making Post-Slavery Subjects (Duke University Press, 2010) and In the Wake: On Blackness and Being (Duke University Press, Fall 2016). She is currently working on two projects provisionally titled Thinking Juxtapositionally and Refusing Necrotopia.
While she’ll be giving a formal lecture on Wednesday, February 24 (4:30pm in 1400 MMH) this lunch-time event is an invitation for open conversation—talk about her recently published book and future projects, ask the questions you’ve longed to ask about Monstrous Intimacies, and engage in other discussion topics. All are welcome!
We are grateful to the Nathan and Jeanette Miller Center for Historical Studies at UMD for hosting this event and providing lunch.
