April 26, 2012 "The Politics of Compensatory Domination" by Cricket Keating 4pm Leadership Studies Building, Town Hall
his presentation will explore the politics of "compensatory domination" in which political actors introduce, consolidate or enable forms of inter-group and intra-group hierarchies in order to engender acquiescence to political authority. Focusing upon examples from India and the United States, I argue that in addition to force and ideology, compensatory domination is a third component that works to engender submission of subordinated groups to inequitable relations of rule. This event is organized by the feminist student organization, Fire.
