Any graduate student interested in sociology of gender may participate. We'll engage in several different activities during our meetings. First, participants present their research in progress and receive comments from other members of the workshop. Second, we meet with visiting scholars to discuss their work. Finally, we occasionally read and discuss important books or articles in the area of gender studies.
New members are always welcome.
They are now moving from a set of readings on Heidegger and language into a set of readings on Heidegger's Kant. The present group consists of graduate students from Comparative Literary Studies, German, Philosophy and Political Theory. It meets from 7 PM to 9 PM on Thursdays in Kresge Hall 116. The Language and the Politics of Subjectivity reading group is an interdisciplinary group of advanced graduate students interested in the intersection of political theory, literary theory, cultural studies, and philosophy. The group will focus on examining constructions of political subjectivity within selected texts.
