[SydPhil] [Thinking out Loud] Aamir Mufti: Strangers in Europa

[PhilosophyatWesternSydney]

[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.
