About this event
Join us for the panel discussion & poetry reading: "Abolitionist Solidarities to Disrupt Technologies of Decomposition and Starvation: The Confluence of Immigration Detention, Eating Dis/orders, and Food".
Presented by Dr. Ameil Joseph and Dr. Nicole Schott, and facilitated by Gessie Stearns, the panellists will share the story of how their shared commitment to exposing and disrupting deep roots of violence allowed for what might first appear as unlikely solidarities, such as between critical prison studies and critical eating dis/order studies. Their shared focus opened creative possibilities for collective resistance, moving them to understanding food as a rhizome that can bridge diverse abolitionist struggles. This panel narrates their art of crafting confluences together that was made possible with the contributions of critical, mad, indigenous, post-human, and anti-colonial perspectives.
When: May 4, 2023 between 12:00 and 3:00 PM
Where: L.R. Wilson, Community Room at McMaster University
