“The Pacific Rim as Archipelago” A lunchtime talk with Harrod Suarez, Associate Professor of English and Comparative American Studies.
Thursday, June 10th, 12:30-1:15 pm EDT
The archipelago has emerged as a mode of inquiry departing from continental frameworks long serving as the basis for imperial, colonial, and national practices. What might it mean to approach the Pacific Rim through the archipelago? Professor Suarez joined us to discuss how the archipelagic framework and research trips to Hong Kong inform his current research and teaching efforts.
