Critical Conversations: Failure

In the third thematic Critical Conversations panel of the winter term, a mixed panel of faculty and student speakers will present 6-8 minute flash talks on the topic of “Failure” with a Q&A following. Speakers will take up the concept "failure" with respect to their diverse domains of inquiry. Ranging from such investments in Jack Halberstam's renowned Queer Art of Failure (2011) to recent trends in postcolonial disappointment fiction, this panel broadly examines the critical purchase of thinking with "failure," exploring, for example, what makes failure possible, or even what failure makes possible.
