Week 2 Spring 2014
UC San Diego LGBT Resource Center
|
Since this is Sexual Assault awareness month, I'd like to take this moment to say that no one is ever alone. Even though some experiences have left us in a world of chaos and we may feel that we won't ever recover from certain incidents, but stay strong and eventually things will get better. I'm constantly on a road of recovery, but I still haven't given up on myself, so don't give up on yourself.
Please Take the Time to listen to this song if you have the chance because sexual assault can lead to people feeling this way.

Racialized Hauntings Ghosted Embodiments
Mon./ Wed. | 2:00-4:50p
Summer Session II 2014
Instructor: June J. Yuen Ting
This course will explore "hauntings" as a
genre of critical inquiry that attends to the surplused, unclaimed, and uncontainable relations of
social reproduction/attrition. In doing so, we will examine how these relations pose questions to
the empirical, juridical, and rational modes of knowing and embodying-as well as unknowing and
disembodying-the enduring violence of slavery, genocide, imperialist war, and primitive
accumulation.
