The concept, ‘injury’, is conventionally associated with war, but can have wider resonance, suggestive of scars and fractures carried across generations and manifest symbolically and materially across embodied and lived spaces, cultures and institutions, both domestic and international. This visiting seminar places the lens on injury as a political concept and considers its implications in rethinking the terms of global justice. There is no need to register your attendance. Light food and drinks will be served.

This seminar forms part of the ‘everything everywhere all at once project”, which is run by the School of Social Sciences. This project seeks to provide postgraduate students with guidance and instruction on multiple fronts (everything all at once).

This project has been running since 2023, and includes:

1) instruction on publications and presentations,

2) instruction on research methods and ethics,

3) guidance regarding Wits procedures and milestones associated with developing and submitting research dissertations,

4) a public lecture series that features both invited guests and Wits postgraduate students. This particular series is organised in conjunction with the Humanities Graduate Center.
