International Lecture Series | Spring 2016 - Fall 2017
How do we imagine and conceptualize a possible way of living together, not in spite of our differences but because of them? How do we welcome singular, minority, marginalized narratives into the living polyphony of a shared world? How do we find solidarities upon the diversity of experiences?
These questions are not new. But they are being posed with greater acuity than ever, now that societies are fragmenting, that retreats into identities are increasing, that inequalities are worsening, and that generalized commodification is destroying natural resources.
We wish to adopt a multidisciplinary approach and bring together around these questions scholars from the humanities and the social as well as environmental sciences, as well as artists and committed individuals whose imagination, creativity, and struggles will enrich our reflection.
International Lecture Series organized by New York University-Paris, the Fondation Maison des sciences de l’homme, the Institut du Tout-Monde, and NYU Institute of African American Affairs.
