Join us for our inaugural RAICCS Theories and Methods Salon on Thursday, December 11th at 1pm. Lunch will be provided, and we plan to use the opportunity to connect those of us working in Critical Caribbean Studies here at RU and in the surrounding area. The salons will focus on different topics related to the Caribbean research questions and methods central to the work of affiliates.
Our first session will focus on Caribbean decolonial ecologies, climate change, and catastrophe. For our December session, we will read a co-authored work by steering committee member, Dr. Kevon Rhiney (Kevon will be in attendance and is willing to informally converse about his work on Caribbean climate issues), a very recent essay from RAICCS external affiliate, Alex Moulton (Hunter College, CUNY), and the prologue/intro to Malcom Ferdinand's Decolonial Ecology: Thinking from the Caribbean World. .
We realize this is the end of the semester, so please join us even if you won't be able to do all the readings. We would like everyone to connect, break bread, and have a robust discussion about such an important and timely topic.
