Feminist Studies Colloquium Series First Event & Spring Schedule
The Feminist Studies Colloquium Series has announced their schedule for Spring. The first event will be on Friday February 15th, at 1:00 pm in 400 Ford Hall and will feature Zenzele Isoke's presentation "Permissible Hate: Black Women, Premature Death, and (Not So) New Challenges for Critical Race Feminisms."
"Permissible Hate: Black Women, Premature Death, and (Not So) New Challenges for Critical Race Feminisms"
February 15, 2013
400 Ford Hall, 1:00 p.m.
This paper reflects a "thinking through" of a few basic questions: how might black feminists conceptualize hate, or for that matter "hate crimes? How might this conceptualization differ from the current ways that hate crimes are defined by law enforcement agencies, criminologists, and discussed in popular media? Who are the people that we imagine are victims of "hate crime"? What about those who we imagine are charged and convicted of them? What about those who defend themselves against hate with the same intensity in which violence is meted out against them? Using the recent cases of Duanna Johnson, Cece MacDonald, Trayvon Martin, and the Los Angeles "Grim Sleeper" murders, and building from the work by sociologist Barbara Perry (2001) (2011), I argue for a critical hate crimes framework that can explain and illuminate the multiply constitutive ways that state-sanctioned gender, race, and class violence produce and perpetuate the premature deaths of black people in the U.S.

Center for Jewish Studies Public Lecture with Poul Hou
The Center for Jewish Studies hosts their 9th annual Community Lecture series "Views of Jews in 19th Century Denmark: From Pro-Semitic Hans Christian Andersen to Anti-Semitic S√∏ren Kierkegaard" with Professor Poul Hou. This lecture will be held on Wednesday, February 6th, at 7:30 pm in Mount Zion Temple.
Please join the Center for Jewish Studies for a lecture by:
Professor Poul Houe
Department of German, Scandinavian and Dutch
University of Minnesota
Wedneday, February 6th
7:30pm
Mount Zion Temple
1300 Summit Avenue Saint Paul, MN 55105
"Views of Jews in 19th Century Denmark: From Pro-Semitic Hans Christian Andersen to Anti-Semitic S√∏ren Kierkegaard"
A controversial book, written by Peter Tudvad, about Kierkegaard as an anti-Semite was recently published; Andersen's pro-Semitic stances are well-documented. Prof. Houe will use these two towering authors as points from which to overview the landscape of pro- and anti-Semitic sentiments in Danish/Nordic 19th century culture and society more broadly, and even to extend the perspective into contemporary culture, where the debate around Tudvad's book has been especially revealing.
Prof. Houe appears as part of the Center's Community Lecture Series.
