What is the University for?

by: Premesh Lalu

A new paper by Professor Premesh Lalu has been published in Critical Times: Interventions in Global Critical Theory. The paper, titled ‘What is the University for?’ asks ‘how does the university institutionalized by the operation of apartheid reason imagine itself as being in and of the world’, and is open access. It is part of a special issue on the work of Saba Mahmood, and features essays by Judith Butler, Elizabeth Povinelli, and other scholars.
