Unfurl: Survivals, Sorrows, and Dreaming

Unfurl: Survivals, Sorrows, and Dreaming Hosted by Dr. Alix Olson October 22 - 7 pm - Humanities 202 Emory Studies in Sexualities program is hosting Eli Clare, a traveling poet, storyteller, and social justice educator. Clare is a pivotal figure at the intersections of queer, trans, anti-racist and disability studies, and his work has shaped multiple generations of scholarship and activism. His seminal book Exile and Pride broke ground in articulating the complex entanglements of disability, queerness, class, and rurality. Since then, Clare has continued to push the boundaries of political and theoretical discourse on embodiment, environment, and justice. Clare’s newest book, Unfurl: Survivals, Survivals, and Dreaming, extends his long-standing commitments by offering urgent reflections on resilience, vulnerability, and dreaming otherwise in the face of violence and precarity.
