From philosophy at westernsydney.edu.au Sat Jul 6 09:35:36 2019 From: philosophy at westernsydney.edu.au (PhilosophyatWesternSydney) Date: Fri, 5 Jul 2019 23:35:36 +0000 Subject: [SydPhil] [Thinking out Loud] Aamir Mufti: Strangers in Europa Message-ID: [cid:image003.jpg at 01D533DE.28F0E590]This year's Thinking out Loud lectures will be delivered by Prof Aamir R. Mufti. Title: "Strangers in Europa: Migrants, Terrorists, Refugees." Description: A growing extremism relies on an idealized figure of "Europa." Its spread around the world is highlighted by acts of violence such as in Christchurch. At core is the fear of a growing migrant population, especially Muslim. In this timely series of lectures Aamir R. Mufti takes long-view perspective in which Europe's past is inescapably conjoined to the present. Only then, contends Mufti, can an honest discussion be properly had. The future of a post-colonial understanding of the world depends on it. www.westernsydney.edu.au/thinkingoutloud Tuesday, August 20, Lecture 1: Europe: An Imperial Idea Wednesday, August 21, Lecture 2: The New Pariah: Between Citizen and (Colonial) Subject Friday, August 23, Lecture 3: Muslim as Minority All lectures start at 5.30 pm to 7.30 pm State Library of NSW, Metcalfe Auditorium, Macquarie Street building $10 per lecture; $25 for the series.
