Two Discussions with M. Jacqui Alexander Thursday, April 22nd, 6:00pm Monday, April 26th, 4:00pm Locations TBA Presented by the Chicano/Latino Graduate Student Association, The Graduate Workshop in Interdisciplinary Pedagogy: Race & Social Justice, and Familia de Stanford: Thursday, April 22nd @ 6:00pm "The New Militarization, The State and the Making of the Citizen Patriot" Sexuality studies and transnational feminism have developed largely along separate disciplinary tracts. Alexander offers an analytic path out of this disciplinary segregation by way of an examination of this contemporary moment of U.S. militarization and empire building, to show how these are racialized, sexualized processes in which the state has mobilized a new figure--the citizen patriot--as one of the anchors for the success of empire. Monday, April 26th @ 4:00pm "Pedagogies of the Sacred" Experience is an important dimension of daily life as well as an important category for feminism, but we have rendered it as if it were absent Spirit, understood it primarily as secularized and antithetical to the sacred. Using her own priestancy in two African-based spiritual communities of Vodun and Santeria, Alexander traces how experience, history, memory, consciousness, voice and agency--customarily positioned as secular--are all readily intelligible within the precinct of the sacred.
