Lead by SPCUNY Faculty Fellow Esther Neff, OUR STUDIES SHOW stages collective philosophy as a form of theatre. Spring 2025 sessions will involve "theoretical dramaturgies" (scores for thinking and theorizing together) which re-phrase, re-frame, and re-iterate such inquiries, particularly in relation to "biological" vs. "cultural" senses of sex and gender, de-alienation and "settler surrender," and the role of doxastic logics (belief systems) in collective self-recognition. All welcome; registration required.

Featured
Student Fellows are graduate students with a serious art practice, matriculated at any CUNY campus (often but not always from MFA programs), who are working to develop an independent project at the intersection of art and social justice. Eligible students are currently enrolled in a CUNY graduate degree program and will have completed at least one year of study by the end of the Spring semester before their fellowship year. The SPCUNY Student Fellow position is not a certificate or degree program. Overlap between thesis projects and SPCUNY student projects is welcome, though not required. |
