Town Hall in the Leadership Studies Building
Public Lecture by María Lugones

This event is organized by Fire and sponsored by Student Governing Association's Diversity Programming Committee, the Dow Multicultural Resource Center, K-State Women's Studies Program and Philosophy department.

María Lugones is an internationally renwowned feminist philosopher and popular educator whose political work and research focuses on building deep coalitions against multiple oppressions. Professor Lugones will speak about the current divide-and-conquer strategies that prevent solidarity within and across diverse communities of people struggling for better lives in the face of global economic crises. Grounded in over 30 years of political work in Latin America and U.S. communities of color, Lugones's lecture will expose connections between debates in U.S. multiculturalism, transnational and women of color feminism, as well as introduce her curront work on the development of what she calls "decolonial feminism."
