Panelists William Paris, Nathan Duford, Eduardo Mendieta, and Paul North discuss the relevance of Frankfurt School critical theory in understanding race, gender, and authoritarianism. Topics include the Frankfurt School's amalgam of Marx and Freud, the patriarch as racketeer, the fetishization of suffering, race as a pathology of time, the relationship between gender panic and normativity, and the thinkers who have pushed Frankfurt School critical theory in feminist directions.
