An Afternoon with Jessica Dore

Hosted by the Humanities Center and featuring visiting fellow, Jessica Dore.

Jessica Dore is an interdisciplinary scholar and artist from coastal New England and currently based in a suburb of Philadelphia.

As a scholar, she is interested in experiences of disorientation, unwanted transitions and transformations, grief, loss, and mourning. She looks at these subjects in two primary ways: 1) through the works and writings of philosophers (primarily in the phenomenological tradition) and 2) through first-hand accounts of such experiences. Because she works primarily outside of academia, she relies heavily on open access articles/books/dissertations, publicly available qualitative research databases, oral history archives, memoir, nonfiction, and film.

Dore is the author of Tarot for Change.

This event will be hybrid, so you can attend it either in person in 602 CL or via Zoom as you prefer. Precirculated material for this colloquium will be available here about two prior to the event.
