    Dear All: In solidarity with the student strikes planned for Thursday, 17 November, Professor Anne McClintock's lecture has been rescheduled to NOON on Friday, 18 November — please help spread the word, and hope to see you Friday! Location to be announced ASAP!

    Paranoid Empire: Perpetual War and the Twilight of US Power

    Friday, November 18, 12pm, Location TBA

    Professor Anne McClintock will be exploring what kind of overt U.S. empire emerged in the aftermath of 9/11, engaging notions such as paranoia and perpetual war, torture and the crisis of violence and the visible, imperial déjà vu and the empire of drones in the twilight of U.S. imperial power. McClintock will be exploring the concept of imperial deja vu through the unquiet dead of Hiroshima as the first “ground zero,” and the ubiquitous invocation of “Indian Country” in the “War on Terror.”

    co-sponsored by the President's Office, the American Studies Certificate Program
