[PhilosophyEvents] Talk next Friday: Dr. Brenda Lara

[Philosophy]

Dear Students and Colleagues,

Thank you for attending the Welcome Event and Reading Rooms; it has been great to chat with you about philosophy and other topics, to build some community on campus. We will have another Reading Room this Friday from 3 to 5 p.m. in COB2 290.

Next Friday, September 29th, we will host our first talk of the Philosophy Speaker Series this year from 3:30 to 5 p.m. in COB2 290: Dr. Brenda Lara (UC Santa Cruz) will visit us to discuss her work on “Epistemic Haunting: Archiving Epistemologies, Chicana Ghosts, and Haunted Histories”

Drawing on Hauntology and Death Studies, this talk highlights epistemic haunting, a phenomenon I term to describe how knowledge denied to the ghost (as a dehumanized living individual) comes back to reveal itself as a collective construction that impacts scholars of color. Through Chicana English professor Lora Romero's life and suicide, I utilize epistemic haunting to argue that queer Latinx knowledge's negation leads to gendered, sexed, and racialized violence in academia. Romero's legacy unveils institutional oppression at Stanford University, including tenure denial and disproportional policies for women of color faculty.

A poster is attached. You are all welcome to attend. Please share with other interested students and faculty.

Best wishes,
Carolyn Dicey Jennings
