Prepping for our @uccwomenstudies.bsky.social PhD module which will be running at @ucc.ie during the first two weeks of March by rereading Haraway's 2026 Erasmus prize acceptance speech. Had to honor to be at the Dutch Royal Palace in November when she read it out loud for the 1st time...brilliant!

The annual Feminist Studies grad prize is open for submissions! December 31st deadline. Please spread the word.
This image is a poster for a colloquium titled "Limits of Legibility: History under Siege." White and yellow text on black background. The description reads: "How does critical history address the impasse between conventional history, on the one hand, and aggressive authoritarian rewriting of history, on the other? Given critical historyβs theoretical critique of the positivist understanding of facts, what is its response to the assertion of 'alternative facts'? And what impact, if any, can it have on current battles as to what counts as history?" Below this description is a list of participants: Joan W. Scott (Insitute for Advanced Study), Omnia El Shakry (Yale University), Gary Wilder (CUNY Grad Center), and Korey Williams (University of Chicago). The event will take place on March 6th from 2pm to 6pm at Brown University in Pembroke Hall 305.
