Join CURA for a book talk discussion with Saree Makdisi, Professor of English at UCLA, about his book Tolerance is a Wasteland. In this book, Makdisi explores the overarching question as to how a violent project of dispossession and discrimination can be imagined, felt, and profoundly believed in as though it were the exact opposite––an embodiment of sustainability, multicultural tolerance, and democratic idealism. The discussion will be include comments by Sanjay Krishnan, Professor of English at BU and Heba Alnajada, Assistant Professor of History of Art and Architecture at BU.
