Anti-Colonial Planetary Struggle: History, Humans, and Us
In this talk, I reflect on the question of history in my recent book, Remaindered Life, and on my own retelling of the dominant story of our global present in the wake of postcolonial, indigenous and Black feminist critiques of history and in the context of climate change. I delineate subaltern forces and practices of social reproduction at work in Philippine contexts of urbanization, the global service economy, and wars of security within the global capitalist economy in order to attend to other agencies and engines and timelines of change than what a humanist history would allow. If History participates in the project of reproduction of colonial power and colonial inhabitation, calling into question our own disciplinary social science and humanities scholarly stories, the method and regard I delineate here might offer instead one way of participating in the project of anticolonial planetary struggle.

Title: Genital coevolution and the overlooked female
During this seminar Dr. Patricia Brennan from Mount Holyoke College https://www.pattybrennan.com/ will visit the seminar to present her work on genital coevolution and gender.
Dr. Brennan studies the functional morphology of genitalia in vertebrates to understand their complex evolution. She is interested in coevolution because the mechanical interaction of genitalia suggests that male and female must fit together to make copulation possible, however, her work has highlighted the gaps in our understanding of female genitalia. She has worked with birds, dolphins, bats, sharks, skates and more recently alpacas and snakes, discovering amazing adaptations in all these groups.
