POSTPONED: Poetics of Humanity

IMPORTANT UPDATE: This event has been postponed until further notice. 

In honour of  the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination 2025

How do we think—or rethink—humanity in the face of racial discrimination? What does it mean to be and feel human, to embody humanity within and beyond the academy? This event illuminates a poetic understanding of humanity, one that both addresses and undresses various forms of intersectional inequity, particularly racial injustice, within the academy and community. Bring a poem, a picture, a song, or just an open heart as we explore, through creative collaboration, what it means to live in a neoliberal world.
