Center for the Critical Analysis of Social Difference
The Center for the Critical Analysis of Social Difference at Columbia University is pleased to invite you to join us on Tuesday, May 4th from 5-7pm at Deutsches Haus, 420 West 116th Street, for a panel discussion with Professors Joan Scott (Institute for Advanced Study) and Mary Louise Pratt (NYU).
Professor Scott, a founder of the Pembroke Center for Research on Women at Brown University, and Professor Pratt, a founder of the Department of Social and Cultural Analysis at NYU, will share with us some of their thoughts and reflections on intellectual and institutional innovation, a topic that is at the heart of our own efforts here at CCASD to build a center promoting interdisciplinary scholarship on the global dynamics of gender, sexuality, ethnicity and race. Professor Scott will also offer some of her reflections on “social difference,” a concept that has been central to her own work and that we have taken as one of our Center’s founding principles and also, of course, as our namesake.
This panel is being sponsored as part of Columbia’s Mellon Foundation Initiative on Rethinking the Disciplines. We cordially invite you to attend the panel and to join us for the reception which follows. Thanks in advance for directing your RSVP to Erin Jeannette (eaj2115@columbia.edu), coordinator of the Mellon Consortial Disciplines Project.
