ABOUT THE EVENT<\/h3>\n

Described by Henry Louis Gates as \u2018Black Britain\u2019s leading theorist of Black Britain,\u2019 Stuart Hall was the preeminent post-colonial intellectual of Great Britain from the 1960s until his death in 2014. One of the founders of \u2018cultural studies,\u2019 Hall\u2019s influence extended across the intellectual spectrum of the Left, rocking political and academic worlds with his theorizations of race, ethnicity, feminism, nationality, and politics, shaping their discourse for the rest of the twentieth century into the twenty-first. Using Hall\u2019s key essays and books as touchstones, the conference will examine how his ideas can help us to think through some of the most urgent problems of the contemporary moment. With ongoing crises of authority caused by police violence, mass and racialized incarceration across the United States, as well as concerns around economic, environmental, social and religious justice across the world, Hall\u2019s bold and prescient theorizations of neoliberalism and its operations remain intensely relevant.<\/p>\n
