Political Concepts Graduate Conference
@ New School tbd
Mar 24 all-day
Political Concepts: A Critical Lexicon began as a multidisciplinary, web-based journal in which an assemblage of contributions focused on a single concept with the express intention of re-situating its meaning in the field of political discourse. By reflecting on what has remained unquestioned or unthought in that concept, this all-around collection of essays seeks to open pathways for another future—one that is not already determined and ill-fated. From this forum for engaged scholarship, a succession[...]

Śrīharṣa on the Indefinability of Knowledge. Nilanjan Das (U Toronto)
@ Faculty House, Columbia
Mar 24 @ 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm
