Marginalia meets Caesura

'So-called Marginalia' is a reading series for critical academics and social justice activists who are also creative writers or whose work leads them into the territory of narrative or poetics (broadly conceived). Marginalia meet Caesura showcases scholars who are also visual artists, highlighting that the dual role of scholar and artist finds its expression in other genres. Participants this time include: Naomi Adiv (Geography), Jesse Goldstein (Sociology), Setha Low (Environmental Psychology, Anthropology, Geography), Mona Salim (Anthropology), Manissa McCleave Maharawal (Anthropology), and Daisy Deomampo (Anthropology).
