By Patricia Mohammed
Professor of Gender and Cultural Studies at the University of the West Indies, St. Augustine, Trinidad
Thursday, November 11, 2010
12:30-2:30 pm
Conference Centre, 519 York Research Tower
York University
Professor Mohammed's research explores the ways Caribbean peoples' understanding of class, ethnic and gender identities influence the culturally specific ways in which they produce and live. Her research interests, which have largely focused on gender and feminist theory, are now amplified through the lens of visuality. She is interested in the reading of the image whether still or moving, and in understanding what the Caribbean has created as an aesthetic as a result of its peculiar "new world" history.
Her publications include "Imaging the Caribbean: Culture and Visual Translation" (2010); "Gendered Realities: Essays in Caribbean Feminist Thought (2002); Gender Negotiations Among Indians in Trinidad, 1917-1947 (2002); and Caribbean Women at the Crossroads (1999).
A second Caribbean Lecture, "Caribbean Religion and Aesthetic Culture", will take place on Thursday, March 10, 2011. It will be delivered by Carol Duncan, Chair of the Department of Religion and Culture at Wilfrid Laurier University.
