"Conjunctural thinking - "pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will
Lawrence Grossberg, a key figure in Cultural Studies, both in the USA and internationally, reminisces about Stuart Hall as a political intellectual and teacher. He talks about Stuart Hall's impact on him, as well as on Cultural Studies, education, and the Left more generally. The interview traces how Hall and Cultural Studies have been taken up, not only in the UK and the USA but also in other parts of the world. Grossberg points out some of the …
Making and moving publics
An extraordinary educator and public intellectual, Stuart Hall's career as a scholar, activist, teacher and mentor has touched almost every field in the social sciences and humanities. Paradoxically, education rarely claims him as an educator. Stuart Hall's refusal to see publics as given, fixed or settled matters with clear or final demarcations and boundaries allowed him to move pedagogically and politically between and among different constitu…
Keywords
This special issue rethinks Stuart Hall neither strictly as a Cultural Studies scholar nor as a sociologist but rather, more broadly as an extraordinary educator of multiple and broad oppositional constituencies, publics and counter-publics. In so doing, it probes Hall's keywords for querying, contesting, and shifting the educational landscape and lexicon of culture, which previously had been wed to hegemonic essentialist notions of ‘race,’ natio…
Diasporic reasoning, affect, memory and cultural politics
This interview explores the intellectual contours of Stuart Hall's work through the insights of Professor Avtar Brah, Emerita, Birkbeck College, whose feminist post-colonial voice has shaped generations of scholarship on diaspora thinking, achieving public intellectual status. Her Cartographies of Diaspora (1996) received international acclaim, challenging nationalist feminisms to engage diasporic cultural politics. The longest standing member of…
Disability arts and culture as public pedagogy
This article considers the implications of a disability arts, culture and scholarship series 'The Unruly Salon', undertaken at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver in Canada, which ran from January to March 2008. It asks how and whether the encounter of this Series with its diverse audiences makes a lasting contribution to the reshaping of education at the University of British Columbia in terms of curriculum, pedagogy, place, space and …
Go figure! Public pedagogies, invisible impairments and the performative paradoxes of visibility as veracity
This article asks how public pedagogical texts mobilise particular meanings about whose bodies/minds matter or figure? How do they articulate particular affective investments, desires, and values related to our everyday understanding of invisible and visible impairments, and the ways in which discourses of ‘normalcy’ are taught? The author examines three examples of public pedagogy or media campaigns to educate the public about particular invisib…
No time for nostalgia
This article asks: How have disability, indigenous arts and cultural praxis transformed and challenged the historical sociological archival research into relationships among asylum‐making, medicalized colonialism and eugenics in the Woodlands School, formerly the Victoria Lunatic Asylum, the Provincial Asylum for the Insane in Victoria, BC 1859–72 and the Public Hospital for the Insane, (herein, PHI) and most recently, the Woodlands School in New…
The Unruly Salon
This article examines the multi‐faceted contributions of disability studies including the work of artists and scholars inspired by The Unruly Salon, a disability arts, culture and scholarship series held at Green College, the University of British Columbia January–March 2008 to substantive citizenship and cultural politics. The article examines various tropes of normalcy through the new epistemological and methodological lenses and resources pose…
This Earthly World
This essay unearths the educational and socio-political implications of Edward W. Said's work for our understanding of what a secular humanism might mean in the highly charged atmosphere of the post-Cold War and September 11 discourses that have pervaded the USA and, to varying degrees, other parts of the world. It asks what it means to move beyond both corporate and neo-liberal notions of “global citizenship” into more robust communities of affi…
States of Insecurity
This article situates the dominant discourses of “global citizenship” employed in North American universities to internationalize the curricula, drawing in part on evidence from one Pacific northwestern Canadian university in the post-September-11 context of recent restrictive immigration policies, anti-terrorist measures and evocative Cold War memories. Far from weakening the Canadian nation-state or jettisoning neoliberalism, it argues that aut…

Ghostly evidence
The author traces the "ghostly evidence" and official and structural registers of voice underlying the "Rigoberta Menchú" controversy, locating them in select recently declassified documents of the U.S. policy in Guatemala as evidenced in the Guatemalan Documentation Project and other files in the U.S. National Security Archives. The author situates her textual analysis of these official documents within their historical, political, material, and…
