From Demography to Kinship: The Crisis of Population Aging
Join us on November 13 at 3:30pm (CMU 202) for a talk by Stephen Katz (Sociology, Trent University) on the historical characterization of older people as a problematical population. He will move beyond population itself and its demographic crisis models of reproduction, drawing on radical concepts of kin and kinship derived from feminist, Indigenous and posthumanist thinking to envision a more inclusive and relational approach to age-based change.
Katz Distinguished Lecture: James Gregory, December 3, 2024
On December 3, James Gregory (History) will give a Katz Distinguished Lecture on how the West Coast became the "Left Coast." Appearing first in the 1980s, the term “Left Coast” has further underlined the significance of progressive and radical movements in the political systems and reputations of these states. Gregory will explore the history of West Coast radicalism and factors that have made it influential beyond what is common in other regions, including those with blue state traditions.
