Peace & Justice Conversations: The Impact of American Exceptionalism on Culture & Policy
Start: 2021-02-15 19:00:00 UTC Eastern Standard Time (US & Canada) (GMT-05:00)
This is a virtual event
Please
join NH Peace Action as we listen to a timely dissection and analysis
of the impact of American Exceptionalism on culture & policy with
Prof. Eric Cheyfitz and facilitated by NH Peace Action board member,
Jeremy Love.
Eric
Cheyfitz, the Ernest I. White Professor of American Studies and Humane
Letters at Cornell University, is a faculty member of the American
Indian and Indigenous Studies Program (AIISP). Dr. Cheyfitz has served
as director of theAIISP, the faculty coordinator of the Mellon-Mays
Undergraduate Fellowship Program, and the director of the Mellon
Post-doctoral Diversity Seminar. His scholarship and teaching focus on
the force of settler colonialism on Indigenous peoples and their ongoing
resistance in the form of alternative ways of thought and action to the
predatory capitalism embedded in settler existence.
His
most recent book is The Disinformation Age: The Collapse of Liberal
Democracy in the United States (PaperBoat Press, 2019), which in its
final chapter, “Thinking From A Different Place: What Is A Just
Society?,” offers, beyond “the limits of capitalism’s imagination,” an
Indigenous alternative to the way out of the current crisis of climate
collapse and wealth inequality.
