Fatma Muge Gocek writes with a talk of interest to CHAT’s members at UM’s “Sociologists in Action” group:
We are very lucky to have the wonderful Ricarda (Rici) Hammer on campus — she is a Weiser PostDoc here[…]Since Rici’s work is very cutting edge, I asked her to discuss two of her articles with us:
One appeared in Sociological Theory in 2020, is entitled “Decolonizing the Civil Sphere: The Politics of Difference, Imperial Erasures, and Theorizing from History” and is attached.
The other is written with Jose Itzigsohn (whom we had before on SIA) and is entitled: “The Racial Structure of Sociological Thought: Colonial Modernity in Historical Sociology” and is also attached.
Once again, this reading group brings together those sociologists interested in the post/de colonial critical perspective that explicitly identifies taking action for social justice and liberation as one of the fundamental premises of sociology, hence the name of the reading group, “Sociologists in Action.”
