Humanities Faculty Work in Progress
Our thriving “Faculty Work in Progress” series continues to offer a friendly intellectual space in which humanities faculty share their current research activities and engage in a dialogue with colleagues across departments.
On April 8, 2024, we featured Dr. Peggy Lee (Assistant Professor in the Department of English), whose interdisciplinary research and teaching interests include Asian/American literature and poetry, critical race and ethnic studies, performance studies, feminist theory, disability studies, and sound studies.
Dr. Lee’s presentation, titled “‘Holding Myself Together:’ On Mereology, Institutional Violence, and Exhaustion,” theorized racial composure as an unpredictable strategy of keeping it together and falling apart, through the visual, literary, and sonic registers of women of color’s cultural production and activism.
The discussant was Professor Soyica Colbert, Idol Family Professor of Black Studies and Performing Arts and the Vice President for Interdisciplinary Initiatives.
We welcome proposals for new presentations. Please contact us at HumanitiesGU@georgetown.edu
