Description:
Presented by the Center for the Study of Gender and Sexuality at NYU.
Mangalika de Silva, Visiting Scholar, CSGS
Based on prior activism as director of the NGO "Women for Peace" and on current ethnographic research on the minoritization of women and Muslims, this talk explores genealogies of formal and informal state terror. Counterinsurgency nationalism in Sri Lanka is theorized as a key component in the colonial expansion of the global "war on terror" through the proliferation of a political mythology of the "second front."
Part of the Brown Bag Lunch Series. Bring your own lunch - we'll provide beverages!
If you need sign language interpretation services or other accommodations, please let us know as soon as possible.
Wheelchair access at 85-87 University Place between 11th and 12th Streets.

More about New York University
New York University
One hundred and seventy five years ago, Albert Gallatin, the distinguished statesman who served as secretary of the treasury under President Thomas Jefferson, declared his intention to establish “in this immense and fast-growing city … a system of rational and practical education fitting for all and graciously open to all.”At that time, 1831, most students in American colleges and universities were members of the privileged classes. Albert Gallatin and the University’s founding fathers planned NYU as a center of higher learning that would be open to all, regardless of national origin, religious beliefs, or social background.
While the University’s commitment to these ideals remains unchanged, in many ways Albert Gallatin would scarcely recognize NYU today. From a student body of 158, enrollment has grown to nearly 40,000 students attending 14 schools and colleges at six different locations in Manhattan and in over 20 study-abroad countries around the world. Students come from many foreign countries. The faculty, which initially consisted of 14 professors and lecturers (among them artist and inventor Samuel F. B. Morse), now totals over 3,100 full-time members.
