The Revolutionary Humanism of Frantz Fanon

Pre-registration is requested. Registrants will receive a link to the readings a week prior to the program.

You’re invited to a one-day symposium featuring invited scholars and members of the UIC community for an interdisciplinary conversation about Frantz Fanon and his project of radical and revolutionary humanism in the context of 21st-century authoritarian attacks on academic and human freedom.

Join UIC faculty in conversation with Lewis Gordon (University of Connecticut), Barnor Hesse (Northwestern University), Yoalli Rodriguez Aguilera (DePaul University), Lara Sheehi (University of South Africa), Jane Ann Gordon (University of Connecticut), Ahmed Abozaid (University of Chicago) and Anwar Omeish (University of Chicago).

Co-sponsored by the UIC Institute for Research on Race and Public Policy, the Social Justice Initiative, Global Middle East Studies, and the departments of sociology, French, English, history, Black studies, and criminology, law and justice.

Masking will be available. UIC is not a fragrance-free campus, but please skip the cologne or perfume to make this a fragrance-reduced environment! Please contact huminst@uic.edu with questions or additional accessibility requests.
