Exploring films by Lars von Trier, Kelly Reichardt, Daniel Kwan, & Daniel Scheinert, THE EARTH IS EVIL examines the connection between subjectivity & lack, arguing for a destituent ecology that sees lack as the universalist core of social, political, and environmental struggles.
We're excited to start our 16th season, which will focus on "Trans* Ecologies." First up:
Thursday, 9/18/25, 5:30pm @SheldonMuseum
Jeanne Vaccaro (Assistant Prof. of Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, U Kansas)
"Sex, Science, and Forms of Defiance"

I am both happy and terrified this new bilingual collection of poems is coming out. It is about the intergalactic sadness that lingers after the fury, after the rage at a world that is crumbling. Pre-sale at a discount here tinyurl.com/yr3dpexx

Last Friday all the @UNLincoln graduate students in @UNLModLang got together because we needed it, because the fight against monolingualism has never been more important in this Empire. So many languages and cultures in this one photo @unlcas @UNLGradStudies @UNLEthnicStu

“The Journal of Philosophy of Emotion (JPE) is planning to publish a book symposium on Thomas Nail's latest book, The Philosophy of Movement, and we are looking for commentators who are interested in engaging in a critical discussion of it.”
