Keywords: Justice

  • Butler Library 203, Columbia University (map)

The Center for the Study of Social Difference and the Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Council are co-hosting a spring 2017 Keywords Roundtable Discussion on the keyword “justice”  on Thursday, March 23, 4:30 - 6:30 p.m. in Butler Library 203.

The emphasis in the Keyword Conversations is, indeed, on conversation, so we ask each participant to prepare only about ten minutes of critical reflections, which are followed by dialogue among participants and audience members.

Inaugurated in 2010, Keywords: Interdisciplinary Roundtable Conversations was inspired by the innovative interdisciplinary scholarship promoted by the Center for the Study of Social Difference.  Currently a collaborative effort of CSSD and the WGSS Council, the Keywords series draws participants together from a wide range of disciplinary homes in order to explore the various ways we think about fundamental critical/theoretical ideas and to generate new vocabularies and new methodologies.

The Center for the Study of Social Difference is committed to creating an environment that includes and welcomes colleagues, students, and guests with disabilities.
