'Race in the 21st Century,' Lecture by Professor Lewis Gordon

This talk will first offer a critique of the tendency to treat critical work on race as the aim to reduce race to other more accepted or preferred categories of analysis such as class on one hand or individualistic models of cognitive attitudes on the other. It will then move to some prominent efforts such as intersectionality and social constructivity followed by discussions of critical theoretical, decolonial, and pessimistic considerations on one hand and challenges posed by existential phenomenological structuralist ones, which include the speaker’s advancement of transdisciplinary analysis and study, on the other with concluding reflections on the importance of dignity and political transformation.
