Sensitive People: On Being Alive Now
September 18, 2023 @ 6:00 pm
FreeA talk by Kathryn Lofton (Yale University) chaired by Sharon Marcus (Columbia University)
By IRCPL at Columbia
Sensitivity is a problem and a porthole. It ascribes virtue to scientific instruments and is an epithet for reactivity. It labels physical reality and intuitions, facts and vibes, data scientists and empaths. Reflecting on its religious past, this talk argues for sensitivity’s queer political future.
