WGSS Yulee Lecture
This year's Yulee Lecture will feature two groundbreaking feminist scholars: Professor Guenther (Queen’s University, Canada) and Professor Ornelas (Dartmouth College).
Professor Guenther is Queen’s National Scholar in Political Philosophy and Critical Prison Studies at Queen’s University in Canada. She will share her research on "Unsettling Perception: A Critical Phenomenology of Settler Colonial Body Schemas” that asks the question: How do we disrupt colonial structures, such that they no longer function as common sense but become legible as harmful patterns that remain open to transformation?
Professor Ornelas (they/them) is an Assistant Professor of Native American and Indigenous Studies at Dartmouth College. They will present their research on “Speculative Fiction, Abolition, and the Limits of the Settler Colonial Imaginary,” which discusses the presumed impossibility of abolition and what that says about the constraints around imagining otherwise.
