Each year\, our department hosts a Noted Schola rs Speaker Series to bring our faculty\, students\, and community members i nto a generative space for exchange and discussion with the work of noted s cholars and artists. This interdisciplinary series aims to engage with crit ical ideas and creative work at the radical edges of scholarly\, artistic\, and activist work. This year's Series will explore and question the ways t hat entire populations can fall within hierarchies of both physical and cog nitive ability\; the ways that negative feelings about our bodies can both foreclose and open new avenues of thought\; and the ways that crip methods can help consider the parallels and intersections of studies in settler col onialism\, racial capitalism\, empire\, queer theory\, refugee narratives\, and permanent war.
