Genealogy in the Humanities invites you to an 'author-meets-readers' seminar with Professor Perry Zurn (American University) on the topic of his new book, Curiosity and Power: The Politics of Inquiry (University of Minnesota Press, 2021). 

Professor Zurn is the co-editor of Active Intolerance: Michel Foucault, the Prisons Information Group, and the Future of Abolition (2016), Carceral Notebooks 12 (2017), Curiosity Studies: A New Ecology of Knowledge (2020), and Intolerable: Writings from Michel Foucault and the Prisons Information Group, 1970-1980 (2021). He is currently at work on two new monographs: one on the poetics of transgender activism and another on the philosophy of movement.

The seminar is open to faculty and graduate students. Selected chapters of Curiosity and Power will be made available for registered seminar participants. There are limited gratis paperback copies of the book for participating Cornell University and Syracuse University graduate students. If you are interested in receiving a copy, please contact Alexander Livingston at pal229@cornell.edu
