Karen Barad / Re-membering Time/s: For the Time-Being

Karen Barad is Distinguished Professor of Feminist Studies, Philosophy, and History of Consciousness at University of California at Santa Cruz.

Karen Barad was one of the co-originators of the Science & Justice Graduate Training Program and served as its Director. Their book 'Meeting the Universe Halfway: Quantum Physics and the Entanglement of Matter and Meaning' (2007) and the theory of agential realism has had lasting impact on the sciences, feminist and queer theory, and the field of the visual arts. Barad has published numerous articles in the fields of physics, philosophy, science studies, poststructuralist theory, and feminist theory. Their neologism intra-action – the idea that phenomena or objects do not precede, but emerge through, particular intra-actions – signals an important challenge to individualist metaphysics.

This talk is hosted by professor Lisa Rosendahl, and is a part of the Academy of Fine Art’s public program.
