UC Davis Forum on the Public University and Public Good

Today, I had the pleasure of attending a lecture on “Complaint: Diversity Work, Feminism, and Institutions” by feminist scholar and writer Sara Ahmed.  The event was cosponsored by a long list of UC Davis schools, colleges, programs, departments, and centers, including the School of Law. The focus of the lecture was about abuses of power within institutions and challenges to such abuses.

We had a packed auditorium at the School of Veterinary Medicine. Among many others, Associate Vice Chancellor for Academic Diversity and Professor of Law Raquel Aldana was in attendance.

The lecture was part of the UC Davis Forums on the Public University and the Social Good, a series sponsored by Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor Ralph Hexter.
