Last Chance: Epistemic Justice

Epistemic Justice
Reflections on Past, Present and Future
From an African Perspective

With Dr. Baba Buntu (PhD)

May: The Physical
Wednesday May 12, 19 and 26 – 1 hour sessions
10:00 am PDT  |  1:00 pm EDT  |  6:00 pm BST  |  7:00 pm CEST

 

Rooted in African worldviews, each session will explore aspects of history that has had a devastating impact on human development. Literary references will be used as navigation points in order to interrogate complex problems and stimulate philosophical introspection. More than providing the answers, the seminar-series will seek to disrupt common thinking and encourage a transdisciplinary approach to transformation.

The seminar-series will be scheduled along 12 key-concepts, structured through four dimensions: Physical, Cognitive, Social, and Metaphysical. Three one-hour essions will be held in the months of May, June, July and August.

May: Physical

May 12 – Skin: How did appearance become punishable?
May 19 – Presence: What does it mean to exist in this world?
May 26 – Representation: Who can represent who, and why?

Hope And Delusion: Critical Storytelling For Difficult Times

with Robert Norris

Sunday May 16 
9:00am PDT  | 12:00pm EDT  | 5:00pm BST  |  6:00pm CEST

Robert Norris will open our May Community Call with the presentation ‘Hope and Delusion: Critical Storytelling for Difficult Times.’ When we realise just how much hangs on our attitudes towards the various forms of crisis we are exposed to, we may come to see what our work really is. Hope has a curious story to tell. It reminds us of the wealth we carry within us, but also of how easily we are persuaded to give it all up. This talk attempts to string together disparate stories relating to, but not necessarily about, hope, and aims specifically to raise more questions than it answers. Accompanying the talk there will be breakout and plenary sessions in which participants will be able to articulate their thoughts and responses.

Robert is an independent researcher who teaches English as a foreign language and has wide-ranging interests and experience. He is a regular and valuable contributor in our webinar discussion sessions.

THIS EVENT IS FREE AND OPEN TO EVERYONE!
