“Ideologies of Convenience: Cynicism and Irony”

Conference Dates: February 13th -14th, 2020
Location: DREAM Lab, Knight Library
Keynote speaker: Silke-Maria Weineck, University of Michigan

The Graduate Conference explores the complexities of cynical and ironic thinking and their productions. Because of both cynicism and irony’s manifold prevalence, our conference is open to many different fields of interest, from the study of literature and philosophy, to questions of societal behavior, environmental agency, popular culture, journalism, politics, and media.

This event is free and open to the public.
