Wendy Brown and Cathy Davidson join Christoph Cox and attendees in a conversation on the logic, practice, and possibilities of the academy.
Friday, February 10, 2023
12:00pm – 1:30pm
GIDEST Lab, Room 411
The University Center, 63 Fifth Avenue
This event is the first in a series of three spring dialogues hosted by the Consortium for Trans/disciplinarity designed to deepen and broaden the campus conversation about the mission, identity, and structure of our university and of the academy more broadly. These dialogues are built around three interlocking themes: the politics and practices of the university; effective infrastructure; and scholarship and activism.
Upcoming events in the series, on March 10 and April 7, will feature guests including K. Wayne Yang, Bedelia Richards, Sloan Leo, Kathleen Fitzpatrick, Vanessa Andreotti, Zoy Anastassakis, and Renée T. White.
The Consortium for Trans/disciplinarity is an alliance between GIDEST, the Parsons DESIS Lab, and the MFA in Transdisciplinary Design

Born on the Standing Rock Reservation in North Dakota, New Mexico based artist Cannupa Hanska Luger is an enrolled member of the Three Affiliated Tribes of Fort Berthold and is of Mandan, Hidatsa, Arikara and Lakota heritage. Creating monumental installations, sculpture and performance to communicate urgent stories about 21st Century Indigeneity, Luger incorporates ceramics, steel, fiber, video and repurposed materials to activate speculative fiction, engage land-based actions of repair and practice empathetic response through social collaboration. Luger combines critical cultural analysis with dedication and respect for the diverse materials, environments, and communities he engages while provoking diverse audiences to engage with Indigenous peoples and values apart from the lens of colonial social structuring.
Luger is a 2022 Guggenheim Fellow, a recipient of a 2021 United States Artists Fellowship Award for Craft and was named a 2021 GRIST Fixer. He is a 2020 Creative Capital Fellow, a 2020 Smithsonian Artist Research Fellow, and the recipient of the Museum of Arts and Design’s 2018 inaugural Burke Prize, among others.
