PSU Earth Week: Healing the Post-Colonial Self

Professor Ben Cushing will invite participants into a process of critiquing the atomized self—the product of multiple racialist, gendered, classed, and human/non-human fissures. How do we decolonize the self, the land, and the relationships between indigenous and non-indigenous communities? How do we build human and inter-species communities grounded in healing and reciprocity?

Where: Women's Resource Center
