SUMMARY:“The Radical Centre” with C.E. Gatchalian
DESCRIPTION:I’ve never had a strong sense of self\, and it’s still 
 something I’m working on\n\nThis lack of self has manifested itself in a 
 number of ways. As extreme shyness. As narcissism. As obsessive-compulsive 
 disorder. As uncritical obeisance.\n\nRecognizing the role heteronormative 
 white supremacy has played in this struggle has helped me make better sense 
 of it all.  Both my early desire to be white and my later hatred of all 
 things white were manifestations of the same dis-ease: internalized 
 racism.\n\nIn this lecture I will talk about swinging wildly from one 
 extreme of the internalized racism spectrum to the other\, and how I’ve 
 arrived at where I currently am\, “the radical centre.” A place where I 
 am “centred” in my cultural hybridity\, and “rooted” in both the 
 trauma and joy I’ve inherited from my ancestors. \n\n(The lecture will 
 also feature appearances from a diverse range of historical figures such as 
 the Buddha\, Rodrigo Duterte\, Karl Marx and Ayn Rand.)\n\n \n\nThis event 
 will take place in the Dodson Room (Room 301) of the Irving K. Barber 
 Learning Centre.\n\n**There is also a hybrid option\, and you can register 
 for zoom here.**
