'Re-Imagining the Human' at Drew University

On May 30 2023, SIMAGINE member Laurens ten Kate presented the colloquium 'Re-imagining the Stranger' in the context of his summer course 'Re-Imagining the Human: Exploring Modern Philosophies of Imagination from Kant to Kearney' at Drew University (New Jersey, USA).
