SUMMARY:Extinction Thresholds Symposium
DESCRIPTION:As both a conceptual category with purchase across academic 
 discourses and a material reality at once hyperpresent and h
 istorically entrenched\, “extinction” is a rich site for 
 timely interdisciplinary interventions. This event brings to
 gether a group of writers and scholars whose work explores e
 xtinction—both human and nonhuman—at its critical inters
 ections with gender\, sexuality\, and race. Our speakers will 
 take up questions related to the literary\, political\, ethica
 l and ontological dimensions of extinctions past\, present an
 d future. Among other topics\, we will discuss the centrality
  of extinction to the making of colonial America\; the entang
 lement of environmental imperialism and indigenous oppressio
 n\; the representation of Black precarity in post-apocalyptic
  speculative fiction\; and the prospect of mothering at the e
 nd of the world.
