After our inaugural event in March with Prof. Julian Go (University Chicago), What Knowledge? Whose Freedom? What Society? returns with a session that invites colleagues from the Department of Sociology and Criminology to reflect on what the questions that animate this event series (What Knowledge? Whose Freedom? What Society?) mean to us in our scholarship, pedagogy and ethical-political relationship with the social world around us.
This session will feature contributions from:
- Karen Graham
- Karis Campion
- Jacqueline Gibbs
- Rachel Cohen
- Liza Schuster
- Hallam Tuck
- Eugene McLaughlin
- Lambros Fatsis.
Speakers will open for 30 mins (in total) before engaging the audience in a structured discussion on the meanings, challenges and futures of knowledge production for freedom and collective action.
This is a new series of events within the Department of Sociology and Criminology at City, which corresponds to the nature and content of the scholarship that the department espouses. These events functioning as opportunities to ask critical questions on:
- knowledge/scholarship
- freedom/liberation
- society/collectivity.
What do these mean to us and how to achieve them through our research, writing and public engagement?
Intent on creating a dialogue amongst members of the department, invited guests and those joining us, we hope to explore the relationship between knowledge production and social change at the service of social justice.
Attendance at City events is subject to our terms and conditions.
