SPECULATION: A Keywords Roundtable Discussion

In 2011-12 the Department of Women’s Studies at UC Irvine presents the eighth year of its quarterly roundtable series on keywords--contested terms with overlapping, sometimes catachrestic, meanings that recur in various and divergent contexts. Past keywords included: toxic, embedded, regulation, author, offshore, private, public, immunity, pain, movement, transparency and exposure.This roundtable will focus on a critical interrogation of the term "speculation.”
