TODAY: webinar "God’s Waiting Room: Images of Care in Poetic Form" with Casey Golomski
Just a reminder about the today's webinar with Casey Golomski entitled Gods
Waiting Room: Images of Care in Poetic Form: Monday, 9th December 18:00-19:30
CET, 17:00-18: 30 GMT, 12:00-13:30 Eastern, on Zoom:
https://carleton-ca.zoom.us/j/93360548693 Meeting ID: 933 6054 8693.
It is the eighth webinar of the series "Images, Ageing and Care". Cati Coe
will moderate the discussion.
ABOUT THE TALK: A new work of creative nonfiction, Gods Waiting
Room (Rutgers University Press and Wits University
Press) flips the script on racial discrimination in US long term care, showing
how older racist whites and their black nurses find grace together among
their ghosts and despite the odds. Set thirty years after apartheid in South
Africa, it features the untold story of Nelson Mandelas Robben Island Prison
nurse as well as stories of queer older adults and healthcare providers,
teaching us how racism, ageism, and sexism impact where we end up, who cares,
and what matters in the end. While grounded in seven years of ethnographic
research, the book is narrated as taking place in a single day and employs
color photos and visually striking elements of poetic form, translation, and
prose. This seminar offers a window into the authors creative process,
situating these narrative elements within histories of imagistic and
ethnographic poetry and relating the book to recent imagistic approaches in
the anthropology of aging, care, and the Otherwise.
BIO: A creative writer and cultural and medical anthropologist, Casey Golomski
is a Department Chair and Associate Professor at the University of New
Hampshire, with visiting appointments at the universities of Pretoria and the
Witwatersrand. He is the author of the book Funeral Culture (Indiana
University Press) and many articles, special issues, and poems in
anthropology, African and Black studies, and literary journals.
ABOUT THE WEBINAR SERIES ON IMAGES, AGEING AND CARE: This webinar series
free and open to all- gathers anthropologists and image-makers interested in
exploring the ontological and epistemological connections between images,
aging and care, treating the relationship and these phenomena as requiring and
inviting interrogation. It is sponsored by the Images of Care
Collective, the
Association for Anthropology, Gerontology and the Life Course
(AAGE), EASAs Age and Generations
Network (AgeNet) and the Network for Visual
Anthropology of the European Association of Social Anthropologists
