SUMMARY:Holding some ground on a greasy dancefloor:  Caste\, Queerness and South Asian Diaspora in the UK
DESCRIPTION:Holding some ground on a greasy dancefloor:  Caste\, Queerness and South Asian Diaspora in the UK\n Sweaty\, seductive sex club on a Saturday night London\, and amidst some raunchy Bollywood music someone whispers to you a shloka. In the nudity of a sauna in Leicester\, a stranger who desires you\, randomly asks you your caste. We can have weird encounters in most unanticipated ways and in strangest of places – even when they reek of desire\, sexuality\, and possible freedoms. When I came to England for a short fellowship\, I was prepared I might face racial othering\, but I wasn’t expecting caste. And yet the first message I received on Grindr asked\, ‘Are you a Brahmin?’. \nThe vagaries of caste are often seen restricted to the South Asian subcontinent\, and its diaspora and her queerness only seen through its racialized othering. Using anecdotes and stories from desi queer encounters in the UK\, my presentation reveals colonial continuities of caste among South Asian queer lives. While we question dominant framings of sexualities that originate in West as insufficient to explain lives elsewhere\, I ask\, what happens to the Dalit queer lover when desires among us continue to be coded through upper caste-class framings? Challenging the homogenous idea of a South Asian queer community\, this presentation highlights subcontinental geopolitical divisions\, religious differences\, caste hierarchies\, and communal obligations in shaping diasporic queer spaces and subjectivities. \nBIO: \nDhiren Borisa is a Dalit queer activist\, poet\, and urban sexual geographer\, and is currently employed as Assistant Professor at Jindal Global Law school\, India. He is presently in UK working on his first monograph as Urban Studies Foundation International fellow and a visiting researcher at University of Sheffield. He is also an honorary visiting fellow at the School of Geography\, Geology\, and Environment at the University of Leicester\, UK. He  attained his Ph.D. from Jawaharlal Nehru University\, New Delhi on Queer Cartographies of Desires in Delhi. His research primarily focuses in studying caste and class dynamics in sexual mappings and makings of cities from an intersectional and decolonial lens both among queer spaces in India and in diasporic queer worldings. \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk (online) – Orri Stefánsson (Stockholm)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Chance Prioritarianism \nLocation: Teams (online only)\, and streamed from Edgecliffe G03 \nAbstract: I will defend what we could call survival chance prioritarianism\, according to which the moral value of improving someone’s chance of surviving (some period) is greater the more likely the person was to die before the improvement. I motivate this view by showing that it justifies some common moral judgements that ex post views cannot accommodate\, but I suggest that we should resist generalising the view to all chances (so\, we should resist ex ante prioritarianism) and I give some reason for resisting survival chance egalitarianism. Finally\, I defend the view against some natural objections
