Our next Mellon meeting will be held Monday, November 5, 2012 at 12pm in
Partridge Hall (Third World Center), Room 104. We will be reading selections from David Eng's The Feeling of Kinship (2010), Corey Brettschneider's "The Politics of the Personal: A Liberal Approach" (2007), Sharon Krause's "Lady Liberty's Allure: Political Agency, Citizenship and The Second Sex" (2000), and a chapter from Svetlana Boym's The Future of Nostalgia (2001). All readings are available for download here.
Our readings this week deal with questions about race, gender, sexuality, and the public/private sphere. We will think through how various identities are represented publicly while nevertheless facing political privitization.
Join us for lunch and discussion! We will also discuss the recent schedule changes and plan for the rest of the semester.
