The Marie Christine Kohler Fellows @ WID are hosting a panel discussion following the Wisconsin Film Festival screening of Guido Hendrikx’s Stranger in Paradise. The film will be shown on Tuesday, April 4th at 6:30pm at the Sundance Theater in Madison.
The film is described as “quite literally, a classroom exercise which assembles would-be migrants in a Lampedusa detention center and gives them – and the viewer – a brutally direct lesson in the realities of European refugee politics.”
The Kohler Fellows are sponsoring a 30-minute panel discussion following the film which will feature four scholars from a range of disciplines across campus whose academic work speaks to the themes of this film. Kohler Fellow Kate Sprecher will moderate the discussion.
Included on the panel are:
Lesley Bartlett
Professor
Educational Policy Studies
Assistant Professor
Rhetoric, Politics, and Culture
Venkat Mani
Professor
German, Turkish
Nora Stone
Teaching Assistant
