Please join us as the Humanities in the World Postdoctoral Scholars provide brief insig hts into their research.

Jesse A. Goldberg—“Gra mmars of Law, Poetics of Justice:
Towards Abolitionist Literary Stu dies”
This talk will be a brief overview of Dr. Goldberg&rsqu o;s current book project, Abolition Time, which argues that Black Atlantic literatures of slavery articulate abolitionist theories of jus tice which exceed periodization in direct opposition to the ordering gra mmar of law’s linear, progressive temporality.

Merle Eise nberg—“Pandemics and the Collapse of Society”
Historical pandemics have increasingly become a key driver of historica l change, with those deeper in the past now with the power to cause the fracturing and even the collapse of societies. This talk briefly explore s where this idea comes from and how it shapes our reactions to disease, including COVID-19.

Belén Noroña, Just Trans formations Scholar—“Indigenous Epistemologies and Decolonial Education”
In collaboration with Indigenous people, I analyz e extractive activities such as oil-extraction from a decolonial perspec tive. This perspective incorporates Indigenous voices as theory in its o wn right. I am also developing educational methodologies to help student s better understand our participation in resource extraction as the base of the capitalist economy.

Rebekah McCallum, Just Transfor mations Scholar—“Indian Activists and Black American Activis ts: Rights, Independence, and Labor, 1900–1960s”
From t he early twentieth-century through the 1960s, Indian activists and Black American activists made significant personal and professional connectio ns for what they deemed to be parallel struggles for civil rights in the United States, independence for India, and workers’ rights global ly. These activists used both sociopolitical and literary avenues to art iculate similarities and divergences in thought and practice.
