About Wendy Brown
Wendy Brown is professor at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton University, (Political Science and UPS Foundation Chair at the School of Social Science). And she is a professor emerita at the University of California, Berkeley.
She is best known for intertwining the insights of Marx, Nietzsche, Weber, Freud, Frankfurt School theorists, Foucault, and contemporary Continental philosophers to critically interrogate formations of power, political identity, citizenship, and political subjectivity in contemporary liberal democracies.
In recent years, her scholarship has focused on neoliberalism and the political formations to which it gives rise. Some of her most prominent books include States of Injury: Power and Freedom in Late Modernity, Regulating Aversion: Tolerance in the Age of Identity and Empire, Walled States, Waning Sovereignty, Undoing the Demos: Neoliberalism’s Stealth Revolution and In the Ruins of Neoliberalism: The Rise of Anti-Democratic Politics in the West. Her work has been translated into more than twenty languages.
Both the talk and the panel discussion are open, and all are very welcome to attend.
