Displacements in Global Capitalism

Masterclass with Professor Susanne Soederberg (Queen’s University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada)

The main aim of our Masterclass is to think through the material, institutional and socio-spatial dimensions of displacements in contemporary capitalism. In so doing, we will interrogate the structural violence underpinning social dislocations by discussing the strengths and weaknesses of various concepts ranging from surplus populations to racial capitalism. We will also apply these analytics to two Australian experiences with displacements, namely: evictions from rental housing and offshoring of refugees.

Location: Social Science Building, A02, Level 4 Meeting Room 441, University of Sydney

Date and time: 16 October, 2:30pm-4:30pm
