Uncertain futures
7-9pm (CST): ZOOM
About the Presentation: Legacies of psychoanalytic thought emerged in the shadow of political and social upheaval. The work of Fanon, Foluke Taylor and other thinkers offer us insights into how individuals and communities have navigated expressions of power that threaten their communities and personhood. This talk will engage the ways Fanon made sense of this through his work, as well as contemporary thinkers who are drawing on interdisciplinary forms of knowledge to make sense of the ways individuals and communities imagine their future in the midst of uncertainty.
Lisa L. Moore, PhD, LICSW is a Senior Lecturer and Director of the A.M. Program in Social Work, Social Policy, and Social Administration at the University of Chicago. She instructs courses on Fanon, Black women's labor, and Relational Cultural Theory. She sustained a private practice for over 26 years. She earned her Bachelor's degree at Davidson College where she was first introduced to psychoanalytic work in an advanced political theory course, her MSW at Smith College School for Social work, and her PhD in Social and Cultural Anthropology from the California Institute of Integral Studies. She resides in Chicago with her two children, Essex and Rustin, and their almost 1 year old standard poodle puppy Sadiki.
