Talk Description: In its reign of war on terror, the United States tortured and abused individuals in its custody for over a decade. Come and learn about what this lapse in judgement did to our perception of ourselves as Americans. Why is this a feminist concern? What does an intersectional sense of justice require of us epistemically?
