Book Conversation with Jina B. Kim
Join us for a conversation with writer and scholar Jina Kim (Smith College) about her new book Care at the End of the World: Dreaming of Infrastructure in Crip-of-Color Writing (Duke University Press). Through this work, Kim reimagines care as a practice of survival, refusal, and collective world-building across disabled, queer, and racialized communities.

A hands-on workshop series in collaboration with the Duke Campus Farm, “Composting Theory” explores ecological care through feminist and posthumanist readings, soil practices, and collective reflection. Sessions take place on select Saturday mornings—October 25 and November 15—at the Farm.
