Interdisciplinary Dialogue - Ecologies of Change

Ron Broglio, Sabine Feisst, Thomas Puleo, Adriene Jenik, Kevin McHugh, Sha Xin Wei, Mark Lussier

This panel will discuss the possibilities and implications of a posthuman phenomenology. What does it mean to listen to a radical other and how does one appeal to the ear of the other--be it human, nonhuman, inhuman, living or dead, stranger or friend. How is dialogue possible and what are some models?
