Professor Scott Schaffer has been selected to participate
in the Johannesburg Workshop in Theory and Criticism, to be held at the
University of Witwatersrand in South Africa in July 2011. This workshop, the
foremost site of discussion and collaboration between social theorists in the
global North and global South, will focus on "Ordinary States | States of
Ordinariness." The workshop is highly selective, with only 1/3 of its
spots granted to scholars from the global North. Featured speakers will include
the postcolonial theorist Achille Mbembe, the poststructuralist Judith Butler,
and University of Chicago anthropologists Jean and John Comaroff. Professor Schaffer was awarded both the Agnes Cole Dark
Fund and the Faculty of Social Science Research Award in support of his
participation in the workshop. Professor Scott Schaffer to join social theorists in Johannesburg
