The event foregrounds aesthetic production by people of color and explores how form, genre, and speculation shape our understanding of politics, history, and the contemporary moment. By convening interdisciplinary conversations that challenge dominant narratives and highlight systematically excluded ways of knowing, the symposium aims to reassert the humanities\u2019 vital role in interpreting culture, imagining alternative worlds, and confronting the remainders of history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Schedule:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">9:00 AM-9:45 AM.
