Prof. Ashley Bohrer, University of Notre Dame- “Solidarity in the House of Difference”

September 30, 2022

3:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Location

2028 UH

Description:

In this talk, drawn from my book Marxism and Intersectionality, I re-examine the concept of solidarity for contemporary intersectional anti-capitalist politics. Mobilizing insights from Audre Lorde, Kimberlé Crenshaw, and Fannie Lou Hamer, I argue that we must move away from a conceptualization of solidarity based in what I call 'lowest common denominator politics' of presumed sameness and move toward a more capacious notion of solidarity based in relationality.
