The PhD in Humanities, based in the Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies in Society and Culture (CISSC), can be undertaken in many areas of interdisciplinary expertise at Concordia. This faciliated workshop and conversation based event brings current students together to discuss models of care within and without the institution.
We are interested in exploring, celebrating and critiquing models of care within and without the institution and what it means to be "in" humanities. How do we make humanities more human? How does "care" manifest both joyously and critically in academic spaces that are in tension with power structures within the manufactured austerity of the neoliberal university, how can Black feminist, Queer, and Indigenous pedagogies exceed the atmosphere of the institution?
Guided by student-led research AND research-creation of the Interdisciplinary Humanities PhD program, we contemplate and template manifestations of what Care means to self and communities to create structures that template our way of being and the care that we can govern/self govern/ be ungovernable.
