In the framing\, we take our cue from Sara Ahmed (2010)\, who understands crisis\, perceived and described\, as constructed; a crisis necessitates the identification and defense of shared norms and values\, a world and its inhabitants\, against that which threatens. The articulation of crisis thus reveals and contests truth(s) that are\, by presentation\, matters of survival. Held at the University of Pennsylvania’s Kislak Center for Special Collections\, Rare Books and Manuscripts\, this one-day symposium will begin with a highly anticipated keynote featuring Dr. Althea Wasow from University of California\, Santa Barbara. The day’s discussions will bring together scholars from various disciplines to expand upon questions of crisis\, its meanings and manifestations in the modern and contemporary world\, and the role of truth in surviving. \nHost\nWolf Humanities Center URL:https://climate.upenn.edu/event/truth-in-crisis-symposium/ LOCATION:Class of 1978 Orrery Pavillion\, Kislak Center for Special Collections\, Rare Books and Manuscripts 6th Floor\, Van Pelt Library\, Philadelphia\, 19104 CATEGORIES:Symposium END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
