- Title: The Education of Mestizaje: A Folk Phenomenology
- Date: August 28, 2025
- Time: 7PM EST (4PM PST)
- ZoomLink: https://washington.zoom.us/j/95773156358
- Abstract: This talk will use the term ‘education’ in its formative and constitutive sense. ‘Education,’ for this project, means what the German tradition of Bildung refers to: education as formation. The term ‘mestizaje’ is used in its Spanish form to indicate a particular form of postcolonial subjectivity and to clarify that it does not refer to general forms of mixed-race identities. The aim of this talk will be to outline the motivation and rationale for the project and its anticipated scope within philosophy of education and other tradition like the philosophy of race, philosophical anthropology, and phenomenology.
