Prof. Anne O'Byrne's latest book, "The Genocide Paradox, is perceptive and powerfully suggestive. Bringing together democratic politics, time,
and genocide, it illuminates troubling historical events with philosophical insights
about the human condition, specifically the struggle to reconcile ourselves to a world
of becoming when dependence on the past and uncertainty about the future are experienced
as existential threats. A humane, thoughtful, creative work.”- Jennifer Culbert, Johns
Hopkins University
Professor emerita Mary C. Rawlinson and Stony Brook PhD James Sares edited What Is Sexual Difference? Thinking with Irigaray, just published by Columbia University Press. This book brings together leading scholars to consider the philosophical implications
of Irigaray’s writing on sexual difference, particularly for issues of gender and
race. The cover is by Stony Brook philosophy professor and artist Megan Craig.
