Tuesday, August 31 @ 7:00 p.m.
in the Large Meeting Room

Scholar Ashmita Khasnabish explains how she merges Western/European philosophy of Enlightenment with Eastern/Indian intellectual and spiritual thought in her ambitious new book, Humanitarian Identity and the Political Sublime. Dr Khasnabish delves into the canons of western philosophy and the cornerstones of feminist thought to blaze a new philosophical trail that cuts through gender, culture, religion, and politics --- and invites the reader to imagine a different way to see ourselves and others.

Dr. Khasnabish currently teaches at Massachusetts College of Art and Design, and is also a Visiting Scholar at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She grew up in India, came to the United States to further her studies, and is now a Lexington resident.
