Shannon Winnubst on “the past that is never past:” Anti-Blackness & Anti-Indigeneity

Voices of Excellence from Arts and Sciences

Shannon Winnubst, professor and chair of the Department of Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies, researches queer and trans studies, race theory, psychoanalytic theory, and 20th century French theory. Energized by the Black Lives Matter movement, she talks about new language that is emerging in the public sphere to name systemic racism and the deeper encounter it offers, especially for white persons and institutions, with the centuries-long violence. For more of her discussion with David Staley, listen to this week's Voices of Excellence
