en/countering militarism: a study group
June 15, July 6, July 27, and August 17, 2023
VirtualWhat is militarism? Beyond the more obvious cataclysm of war, how does militarism shape social orders? How does it organize educational relations across scale and context? How can it be resisted and refused? This transdisciplinary study group will be a place to convene around these questions and how they might influence our own scholarly work toward freedom as a common cause. Readings will include “Postscript: Reflections on Militourism, US Imperialism, and American Studies” by Teresia Teaiwa and Silence of the Chagos, by Shenaz Patel among many others.
We will meet virtually for two hours every three weeks over the summer for a total of four meetings. If participants decide they want more sessions, we will add those on. All readings will be provided.
Open to staff, students, and faculty.
Co-sponsored by the Kinloch Commons for Critical Pedagogy and Leadership and the University of Pittsburgh Center for Urban Education.
