Registration is required for in-person attendance.

The day after receiving the Holberg Prize in Bergen, Holberg Laureate Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak will join Bodhisattva Chattopadhyay in conversation at the House of Literature in Oslo.

The largest sectors of the electorate in most “democracies” often suffer from a race/class-caste/gender apartheid in education, according to Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak.

We can sustain a democratic world if there is no race/class-caste/gender apartheid in education. In one way or another, this apartheid has been created by longstanding historical crimes of cognitive damage. In order to undo this, it is not enough to build structures by policy. It is necessary to learn to engage in the texture of subaltern knowing. This conversation will revolve around some ways of doing this.

SPEAKERS
