Realigning Humanitarianism: Post-Socialist Pedagogy as Liberal Politics of Love

Maxwell Hall, 204

Add to: Outlook, ICal, Google Calendar

What does liberal politics of love look like from the perspective of a post-socialist country? Discussing humanitarian projects in a refugee camp from Roma, Ashkalia, and Balkan Egyptians that was located in Montenegro between 2000 and 2018,  Čarna Brković will make a case for developing nuanced analytical terms to understand what has been going on with feelings and politics during the post-socialist transformation, without always having to adjust, cut, scale up or down analytical vocabularies developed for liberal centers or peripheries.

Čarna Brković is a professor of cultural studies and European ethnology at the University of Mainz in Germany.

Co-sponsored by the CNY Humanities Corridor ("War Ecologies" Working Group) and the Balkan Studies Collective.

We’re Turning 100!


To mark our centennial in the fall of 2024, the Maxwell School will hold special events and engagement opportunities to celebrate the many ways—across disciplines and borders—our community ever strives to, as the Oath says, “transmit this city not only not less, but greater, better and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us.”

Throughout the year leading up to the centennial, engagement opportunities will be held for our diverse, highly accomplished community that now boasts more than 38,500 alumni across the globe.
