Class Notes:
In this course, we will consider how the intersections of race, gender, sexuality, and other modalities of difference condition multiple forms of physical, interpersonal, sexual, reproductive, discursive, emotional, and state violence. We will engage visual art, digital technologies, film, and other media alongside scholarly texts from a range of disciplines and fields including literature, law, anthropology, sociology, history, feminist studies, philosophy, and queer studies. We will simultaneously consider how care work informs the mechanisms, methodologies, and theories that shape our research practices in order to deliberate on the challenges and responsibilities of writing about violence. Students who enroll in this course may be at any stage of their degree, but they should come in with a dissertation or other project they're working on that is directly related to the themes of the course, as they will be expected to workshop a single chapter or essay over the course of the semester. The course will also feature six workshop mentors - leading scholars in their respective fields who, in addition to visiting class virtually during the week their work is assigned, will be matched with 1-2 students in the course whose final paper draft(s) they will read and comment on toward the end of the semester.
