The Core Program Lecture Series concludes with a talk by anthropologist and filmmaker Elizabeth Povinelli. Her writing focuses on developing a critical theory of late liberalism that has unfolded primarily from within a relationship with Indigenous colleagues in north Australia, and across her books, essays, and films. This event was originally scheduled for an earlier date.
