David Theo Goldberg: “Socialities of the Skin” 
Thursday, March 25, 7:00 pm
Portland State University,
Smith Memorial Student Union, Room 238
This event is free of charge and open to the public.
In “Socialities of the Skin,” Goldberg will address how race has ordered socialities across time, and how it organizes them around emographic and cultural homogeneity. The talk will also discuss more recent shifts in race prompted by contemporary neoliberalism. The talk will end by considering what a genuinely alternative, heterogenous sociality might look like.
David Theo Goldberg, PhD, is the Director of the University of California Humanities Research Institute, the University of California system-wide research facility for the human sciences and theoretical research in the arts. He also holds faculty appointments as Professor of Comparative Literature and Criminology, Law and Society at UC Irvine, and is a Fellow of the UCI Critical Theory Institute.
