Colloquium with Christina Sharpe (open to ALL)

Thursday, February 25, 2016, 11am-1pm, Key 2120

Part of Queer Beyond Repair, the Spring 2016 14th Annual Lecture Series in LGBT Studies http://wmst.umd.edu/queer

 

Christina Sharpe is Associate Professor of English, Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies and Africana Studies at Tufts University. She is the author of two books: Monstrous Intimacies: Making Post-Slavery Subjects (Duke University Press, 2010) and In the Wake: On Blackness and Being (Duke University Press, Fall 2016). She is currently working on two projects provisionally titled Thinking Juxtapositionally and Refusing Necrotopia.

This event follows Professor Sharpe’s talk from the previous day and is an opportunity for students and faculty to gather in a more intimate and informal setting for more extended discussion of the issues raised in the lecture. We hope you'll join us to continue the conversation around queer beyond repair–all are welcome!
