@davinacooper.bsky.socialI found interesting the diverse ways societies’ potential to be otherwise can be understood.
@theorylab.bsky.socialReposted by @davinacooper.bsky.socialWe’re kicking off our work-in-progress seminar series on Wed 30 Sept @qmulsse.bsky.social with our very own Jaakko Heiskanen, presenting on "Tracing Concepts with Jacques Derrida”. Further sessions are on the attached poster. Message us here or at [email protected] if you’d like to join.
@davinacooper.bsky.socialSex, gender, concepts--how are they caught up in conflict? what is conceptual activism? how are concepts material? and what methods do they offer us? Some questions pursued in my new forthcoming book.
