The 6th Vienna Lecture in Canadian Studies, organized by The Centre for Canadian Studies at the University of Vienna, will take place on June 29 (Thursday), 6:00 pm at the Hofburg (Schreyvogelsaal, entrance next to Sisi Museum).
This year, our distinguished guest lecturer is Dr. Andrea A. Davis, Professor of Black Cultures of the Americas in the Department of Humanities at York University in Toronto. Her research is rooted in anti-racist feminism and analyzes questions of race and gender through a focus on the literary and cultural productions of Black women. In her talk on "Black Women’s (Im)Mobilities: Memory, History and Diasporic Entanglements," Dr. Davis will theorize a raced and gendered understanding of Black women’s diasporic histories in Canada that unsettles the construction of Canada’s exceptional multicultural democracy through a refusal of the terms of competitive citizenship and a demand for a future now.
This year's lecture is organized in partnership with the "Mobile Cultures and Societies: Interdisciplinary Studies on Transnational Formations" Research Platform, the “GAIN - Gender: Ambivalent In_Visibilities” Research Platform, and the Embassy of Canada to Austria.
The event is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.
