Explorations of Transformative Learning, Critical Inquiry, and Liberatory Potential
This series is brought to you by the Center for Research on Gender and Women, and the following University of Wisconsin-Madison co-sponsors: the Women’s and Gender Studies Consortium; the Department of Gender and Women’s Studies; the School of Journalism and Mass Communication; the Nancy M. Bruce Center for Design and Material Culture; and the Anonymous Fund.
In a historical moment defined by austerity and precarity within higher education, we seek to critically analyze, theorize, and strategize the role of the university in the twenty-first century. Taking a decolonial feminist approach, we will engage a core question being asked around the country, from classrooms and community spaces to the highest echelons of power—what is the purpose of the university? The keynote address will be delivered by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) former Chair, Dr. Shelly Lowe.
