Sociology Seminar Series- Dr Sarah Bufkin on Franz Fanon and the Diagnosis of Social Pathologies

Abstract In this seminar Dr Sarah Bufkin discusses Frantz Fanon’s thought within the postcolonial context. Rather than reduce Fanon to a mere psychologist of the oppressed, this talk repositions him as a diagnostician of the social pathologies produced by colonialism and White supremacy. By drawing on the experiences of both the colonized and the colonizer, Fanon showed that racial hierarchies can produce disordered forms of life. The talk concludes by gesturing towards how Fanon’s insights speak to postimperial Britain, where racialized ideas of Englishness and anti-migrant politics obscure deeper systemic crises Speaker: Dr Sarah Bufkin is an Assistant Professor of Political Theory at the University of Birmingham. She works on Black Atlantic political thought, Critical Theory, and Cultural Studies, with a specific focus on racism and racialization, imperial techniques of government, and racial capitalism. Prior to starting at Birmingham in 2022, she was an Examination Fellow at All Souls College, Oxford.
