SAGE would like to encourage you to attend the Elizabeth Grosz lecture on Friday, September 29 at 3pm in Room 10302, 5057 Woodward. She will be presenting her latest work, entitled “Vibrations,” which is a consideration of Deleuze and music. Elizabeth Grosz was born in Sydney, Australia and gained her BA and PhD in Philosophy from the University of Sydney, where she taught as a lecturer and senior lecturer from 1978-1991. She has also taught at Monash University, University of California, Santa Cruz, SUNY Buffalo, University of California, Davis, Johns Hopkins University, the University of Richmond, George Washington University and the University of California, Irvine. She is currently professor of Women’s and Gender Studies at Rutgers University. Grosz has richly and provocatively considered a wide range of issues and thinkers, including ontology, architecture, feminism, aesthetics, temporality, Irigaray, Lacan, and Deleuze.
Her two most recent books, The Nick of Time (2004) and Time Travels (2005), are powerful reconsiderations of the concept of time in the work of Darwin, Nietzsche, Bergson, Deleuze, and others. For an online taste of her work, here are two interesting interviews with Grosz: http://web.gc.cuny.edu/csctw/found_object/text/grosz.htm http://www.abc.net.au/rn/arts/sunmorn/stories/s1381964.htm
