In This Moment: Thoughts on Anti-Racism, Social Justice, Decoloniality and Radical Collectivities will address the ways in which debates concerning the decolonial project and social justice presently occupy a certain unthoughtfulness that needs to be thought. Professor Walcott places both decoloniality and social justice in conversation with the aim of generating a call for thinking a radical collective imaginary.
This talk will be of value to UÀ¶Ý®ÊÓƵ faculty, staff and students as well as members of the community with an interest in social justice.Â
The lecture will be about 45 minutes followed by Q & A.Â
A pre-lecture reception will be held from 4:15 - 5:00 PM in AL 211. Light refreshments will be provided.
Indeed, the question that bears down on decoloniality and social justice ideas, discourses and even practices is – what kinds of futures might constitute their ultimate trajectory? This talk thus probes and also risks the articulation of imagining a radical collectivity-yet-to-come. It seeks to insert the following question into the debate – what kinds of politics might be required in the present so that other kinds of futures might be glimpsed." - Professor Rinaldo Walcott
