As a prelude to the Workshop on Law and Social Movements supported by the Hauser Center for Non-Profit Organizations, John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University, this event features a conversation between two leading intellectuals of our times, Prof. Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak and Prof. Upendra Baxi who have profoundly shaped the fields of contemporary social theory and legal theory. Profs. Spivak and Baxi will engage with each other on the politics of representation, the possibilities for resistance, the nature of subaltern agency, the predicaments of contemporary social movements and finally, how the law figures in these conversations and what prospects it may hold for redistribution in the Indian context. This conversation between Prof. Spivak and Prof. Baxi presents a rare and path-breaking opportunity for inter-disciplinary engagement between legal scholars and postcolonial theorists. We hope for an active engagement between the audience and our distinguished speakers.
