Changing Institutions with Sara Ahmed
The Erasmus School of Philosophy (ESPhil) and Nieuwe Instituut present Changing Institutions with Sara Ahmed: Common Sense, Complaint and Other Lessons in Legacies. In her lecture, Ahmed will explore diversity in institutions and the resistance and critique surrounding it, as well as the tools that can be used to explain or challenge the issues. This will be followed by a conversation between Ahmed and journalist and programme maker Clarice Gargard.
