"Alterity of Affliction," CSPT Student Conference
"Alterity of Affliction" was held virtually on September 25 2020. The 2020 CSPT student conference seeks to facilitate an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary discussion about the limitations and new horizons of discourse on pain. How do we come to know and recognize pain in the other? In the self? And, how might we reconstruct what is lost after pain? Keynote address by multidisciplinary performance artist Cindy Baker (MFA, University of Lethbridge). Thanks to conference chairs Julie Funk (PhD, English) and Jon Nash (PhD, English) for organizing.
