DESCRIPTION:Esquisses Speaker Series\n\nFree event. A light lunch will be s
 erved. Please register on Eventbrite.\n\nRecent popular and academic debat
 es have again brought questions of sexual difference to the foreground. It
  is\, thus\, time to revisit how we might extricate ourselves from the see
 mingly intractable insistence on the primacy of sexual difference. In this
  talk\, Prof. Weinstein (Link枚ping University) will take up the philosophi
 cal question of sexual difference through the lens of epigenetics\, arguin
 g that we should consider evolution beyond a reductively genetic framework
 . This shift has potential to diminish or even eradicate the importance of
  sex and sexual difference\, since through epigenetics\, bodies\, identiti
 es\, and environments are understood as co-constituted transgenerationally
  rather than uniquely issuing from\, or determined by\, bi-parental sexual
  reproduction. Following the talk\, Prof. Rosenblum (Faculty of Law\, McGi
 ll University) will dialogue with Prof. Weinstein to raise some political 
 and legal implications of an epigenetic indifference to sex and sexual dif
 ference.\n\n***\n\nJami Weinstein is Associate Professor\, Senior Lecturer
 \, and the Director of The Critical Life Studies Research Team at Link枚pin
 g University\, Sweden with PhD in Philosophy (CUNY 2005) and History of Sc
 ience and Technology (EHESS 2007). She is a critical social and political 
 theorist\, publishing in a range of fields like: Contemporary Continental 
 Philosophy\; Queer\, Trans*\, and Feminist theory\; Afrofuturism\; Science
  and Technology\, HumAnimal\, and Environmental theory\; and Critical Life
