Luke Shoveller
Hiding in Plain Sight:
Drones, Subjectivity, Power and the Archive
Luke Shoveller is completing his undergraduate
degree in Cultural Studies in the School of Social
Policy, Sociology and Social Research at the University of Kent in Canterbury, UK. Thereafter he
plans to pursue a PhD in Sociology, through which
he hopes to continue his research into archivisation
and perception. More broadly, his main sociological concern is with the politics of nostalgia, cultural memory, identity and community. In his future
studies, Luke intends to explore the sociocultural
interplay between these concepts, particularly in
light of processes of British deindustrialisation
and, subsequently, industrial memorialization.
Hannah Quicksell
Giving in Heterosexual Relations:
Luce Irigaray and the Commodification
of the Signified “Woman” Hannah Quicksell hails from Saint Paul, MN and
currently a undergraduate philosophy major at
Grinnell College. She focuses in post-structural
cultural critique and feminism. In her part time,
she works as a barista, plays piano, and enjoys good
beer.
朱磊 (Lei Zhu)
The Problems of Hegelian Freedom
and Virtue as a Solution
朱磊 (Lei Zhu) is at present a master student of
philosophy in the Hoger Instituut voor Wijsbegeerte (HIW) in KU Leuven, Belgium. As an auditing-student years ago, his academic passion was
initially ignited by Prof. 李康 (Kang Li) and Prof.
李猛 (Meng Li), and has been directed to a more
flourishing and nourishing track by Prof. 孫飛宇
(Feiyu Sun), who in these years kindly and generously allows Lei Zhu to participate in his promising oral history research. Lei Zhu is now interested
in three domains: a philosophical anthropological
analysis of Confucianity (儒家); metaphysics and
ethics in general, within which he tries to interpret
one through and into the other; and classical political economy, the interlock between normativity
and reality.
Eli Lichtenstein
Marx’s Wage-Form:
What Is, To Whom, Of What?
Eli Lichtenstein is currently finishing his degree at
The New School, where he studies Marx, Hegel, and
the tradition of ideology critique.

Jameson, Subject-Proletariats,
and Shipping Container Architecture

at Brock University. Currently, Wade is tenting on
the Galápagos Islands, amidst a traversal of South
America.

Into the Wild: Derrida, Tsing,
and the Question of the Other

Kerry Duncan
Growing Oppression on One’s Face:
The Hegemonic Limitations of the
Movember Iconic Moustache
Kerry Duncan, having completed her Bachelor of
Social Sciences from the University of Ottawa, her
academic work focused primarily on understanding the lasting impacts of historical relationships
of power and privilege. While heavily influenced
by different critical theoretical approaches, such
as Post-modernism, Queer Theory, and Orientalism, Kerry’s work and global paradigms are most
heavily influenced by her experiences outside the
classroom. Most commonly, Kerry finds herself
emerged in processes of learning and unlearning
while facilitating workshops, skill-sharing among
her communities, and in her political organizing to
challenge institutions that maintain power by perpetuating systemic oppression.
