Few things are better at teaching us about our own world than monsters. Lurking at the edges, deforming desecrations of the human, they also paradoxically enable insight for transformation. This new series investigates the power, appeal, and fear of monsters across a wide array of contexts, cultures, and registers — from monsters in America, to the monstrosity of AI. Join us as we contemplate the monstrously invisible that is all around us.
In the 2023-2024 academic year, we are organizing a series of events about monsters with the Institute for Religion, Culture, and Public Life at Columbia University.
