Masterclass with Professor Jasbir Puar

The Social Theory Centre, University of Warwick, UK

<H2>The Social Theory Centre is pleased to host a Masterclass with Professor Jasbir Puar. All those who would like to engage with the dazzling span of Professor Jasbir Puar's theoretically rigorous and politically engaged academic work are invited to register.</H2>
<H2>The Masterclass will be an opportunity for staff and students (PhD, MA and UG) from disciplines across the Social Sciences and Humanities for an in-depth engagement with Professor Puar's work. This work skilfully weaves and extends the biopolitical and geopolitical horizons of thought and practice - from the practices of racial/queer profiling and homonationalism as part of terrorist assemblages to a mapping of economies of debilitation in the 'right to maim' as an 'inhumanist biopolitics.' Professor Puar's work has been significant for Critical Race, Gender, Sexuality, Disability & Science & Technology Studies across the disciplines of Sociology, Philosophy, Law, History, Politics & International Relations.  </H2>
<P><BR></P>
<H2>The Masterclass is free, but it is necessary to register as we have a limited number of places. </H2>
<H2>The Masterclass includes Morning Tea & Lunch.</H2>
