Abstract
The desire for this event was sparked in the wake of events in November 2015 which saw Paris elevated in the public mind and universally mourned. Discussions about the inequality of grief began almost immediately and this event hopes to ask more and take these questions somewhere. It will be a chaired and panel-led open discussion about grieving. The panelists will each give us some insight into grief – politically, psychologically, socially and individually and then the discussion will open up to all. We will consider why some lives are easier to grieve than others; what is political about grief; what it means to grieve and who dictates it. We look forward to seeing many of you there.
Series This talk is part of the Critical Theory and Practice Seminar series.
