BROWN BAG LUNCHEON TALK with Macklin Kowal | Macklin Kowal (M.A. '13)
Macklin Kowal joined us for snacks and chats about his journey into, within, and after his time in the department. Brought back to New York by the US Premiere of film The Visitor, in which he stars, he has been curating performance and studying in Athens, Greece. The film is centered in liberatory queer politics, addressing anti-immigrant attitudes in Great Britain. He chatted about pursuing a PhD in political theory without a previous degree in politics, navigating being an international student and artist, and how his time with professors here influenced his intellectual approach that blends art and academia seamlessly.
