| 04.08.2024 Aeliana Nicole acclaimed Author and activist who first became known nationally after producing the Occupy Wallstreet Poetry Anthology | In New York last week Aeliana Nicole, a trans woman, celebrated author, artist and dedicated activist took on the City of New York in an explosive legal showdown. Just before her graduation from Pratt Institute in 2016, Aeliana was tragically hit by a fleeing ambulance, leaving her with critical, enduring injuries. Amidst her 8 year battle for recovery, Aeliana faced an uphill struggle against the very politicians who profess support for the LGBT community. Her long-awaited day in court came last week, during Transgender Visibility Week, where a jury unanimously ruled in her favor on all counts. But in shocking twist, the judge overturned the verdict to safeguard city interests. Jonathan Ross, a close friend and trial witness, provided insights into Aeliana’s harrowing journey Thank you, West Seegmiller Co-Producer/Host KPFK 90.7FM Rebel Alliance News 949-293-0413 | westthethird@gmail.com |
| 03.20.2024 Maurice Hamington MBA, PhD Professor of Philosophy Affiliate Faculty, Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Fulbright Specialist 2021-2025 | Revolutionary Care provides original theoretical insights and novel applications to offer a comprehensive approach to care as personal, political, and revolutionary. The text has nine chapters divided into two major sections. Section 1, "Thinking About Better Care," offers four theoretical chapters that reinforce the primacy of care as a moral ideal worthy of widespread commitment across ideological and cultural differences. Unlike other moral approaches, care is framed as a process morality and provides a general trajectory that can only determine the best course of action in the moment/context of need. Section 2, "Invitations and Provocations: Imagining Transformative Possibilities," employs four case studies on toxic masculinity, socialism and care economy, humanism and posthumanism, pacifism, and veganism to demonstrate the radical and revolutionary nature of care. Exploring the thinking and writing of many disciplines, including authors of color, queer scholars, and indigenous thinkers, this book is an exciting and cutting-edge contribution to care ethics scholarship as well as a useful teaching resource. If you are indeed interested, I can have the publisher send you a copy of the book. Contact: maurice4@pdx.edu |
