Hello, The following event may be of interest to you: Miriam Ticktin: The Politics of Humanitarianism Beyond the Human Tuesday, December 4, 2012 Event co-sponsored by the Anthropology Program at BardMiriam Ticktin is an Associate Professor of Anthropology at the New School. She received her PhD in Anthropology at Stanford University and the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales in Paris, France, and an MA in English Literature from Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar. Before coming to the New School, Miriam was an Assistant Professor in Women's Studies and Anthropology at the University of Michigan, and also held a postdoctoral position in the Society of Fellows at Columbia University. Professor Ticktin works on the intersections of the anthropology of medicine and science, law, and transnational and postcolonial feminist theory. Her research has focused in the broadest sense on what it means to make political claims in the name of a universal humanity: she has been interested in what these claims tell us about universalisms and difference, about who can be a political subject, on what basis people are included and excluded from communities, and how inequalities get instituted or perpetuated in this process. Her recent work can be found on her New School page. Location: Olin Humanities, Room 102 Sponsor: Anthropology Program; Human Rights Project Contact: Danielle Riou.
