Danielle Hanley, Assistant Professor of Political Science at Clark University, will present "From Wayward Lives to Choral Politics: Saidiya Hartman and the Emancipatory Potential of the Chorus" at the Cornell Political Theory Workshop. The paper will be circulated on an email list in advance and participants come prepared to discuss it.

Danielle Hanley is interested in the role of emotions in political life. Her work draws together scholarship from political theory, classical studies, feminist thought, and performance studies to consider the work of grief and rage in politics. She is currently working on her first book project, based on her dissertation research, which examines grief, rage, and solidarity in the context of Greek tragedy and contemporary protest movements. In addition, she writes about feminist pedagogy in the conventional and virtual classroom. 

If you have questions or would like to be added to the Workshop’s email list, email Ewa Nizalowska, the graduate student coordinator for 2023-24, at en256 [at] cornell [dot] edu.
