ISI Cosponsors Radha Radhakrishnan Talk

The Interdisciplinary Studies Institute is delighted to co-sponsor a presentation by our former UMass colleague, 'Radha' Radhakrishnan, who will talk on the topic of 'What Is Wrong With Humanism?', at 5 pm, Bartlett 316, on September 18th. Radhakrishnan is Chancellor's Professor of English and Comparative Literature and the University of California, Irvine.
 
His talk will draw on Said, Fanon, and Heidegger in thinking through the problematics of humanism and the avenues of relation open to us. As he writes, "I will be attempting to open up a critical theoretical space where the exilic mode can be cultivated as a double critique both of nationalism and of humanism and its deep inherence in the metaphysics of anthropocentrism." The talk is free and open to the public.
