Briggs Building, Room 317
Thomas Nail, distinguished scholar and professor of Philosophy at the University of Denver, will be the guest speaker at a Philosophy Department event co-sponsored by the Carney Latin American Solidarity Archive (CLASA) on Wednesday, March 18, at 4 p.m. in Room 317 of the Briggs Building.
The talk introduces the main ideas of Nail’s books, The Figure of the Migrant and Theory of the Border, rethinking the nature of political philosophy and history from the perspective of migration. Nail has expanded his analysis to incorporate the advent of climate change and migration in deep Earth history. The conversation will step back and look at the longest and widest frame for which to illuminate the current events of unprecedented global migration and climate change.
In addition to the works mentioned above, Nail is the author of several other books, including Theory of the Earth, Marx in Motion, The Philosophy of Movement, Lucretius I, II, III, and Being and Motion. His research focuses on the philosophy of movement.
All are welcome to attend to this free event.
