The GTU Center for Dharma Studies and Journal of Dharma Studies invite you to attend our conference on "Posthumanism & the Politics of Sentience," on the theory and practice of posthumanism and new materialism. Critical posthumanism seeks to decenter anthropocentrism, androcentrism, racism, supremacies, and the denial of the intrinsic right of survival for many human communities and the natural world. Critical new materialism is often considered a branch of posthumanism and presents emerging theories of the biopotentiality and agentic potential of matter, challenges dualisms such as culture-nature, mind-body, etc., all of which inspires new questions about the rights of the physical world. The conference will be held Saturday, March 29 and Sunday, March 30, in-person in the GTU Dinner Board Room and online via Zoom. More details, including a preliminary schedule and link for attending online, can be found in the flyer linked below.
