Wed, Apr 23, 6:00 PM, at The Brattle Theater, Cambridge, MA.
Harvard Book Store welcomes Judith Butler—global icon and author of several books, including Gender Trouble; Bodies That Matter; The Psychic Life of Power; and The Force of Nonviolence—to celebrate the paperback release of their book Who’s Afraid of Gender?, a bold, essential account of how a fear of gender is fueling reactionary politics around the world. They will be joined in conversation by Doris Sommer—the Ira and Jewell Williams Professor of Romance Languages and Literatures and of African and African American Studies at Harvard University and founder of “Cultural Agents,” an Initiative at Harvard and an NGO dedicated to reviving the civic mission of the Humanities.
