We will have our next speaker event next Friday, April 3 with Professor Jennifer London.
It will be at Silver 31 Washington Pl, Room 410 12-1 PM. Refreshments will be provided ☕️. An encouraged reading will be sent out to those that RSVP soon; RSVP link in bio.

Jennifer London is a Professor at NYU Liberal Studies and a political theorist whose research explores the intersection between language and political power, with a particular focus on premodern Islamic contexts.
Her current manuscript, A Revolution in the History of Political Thought: Ibn al-Muqaffa’s Uses of The ‘Circle of Justice’, examines the literary corpus of Ibn al-Muqaffa', a founder of Arabic prose and political thought. London explores how through translation, this scribe elevated his social station from being a mere bureaucrat to becoming an esteemed sage of ancient wisdom. Her insights from early Arabic examples demonstrate how indirect forms of speech may be utilized to gain political power across diverse times and places, from premodern Islamic contexts to contemporary democracies today.
