Archives of the Impossible conference | Plenary Lecture: AnaLouise Keating

AnaLouise Keating, professor of Multicultural Women’s and Gender Studies at Texas Woman’s University, lectured on "Cultivating the 'Impossible' with Gloria Anzaldúa: Towards a Transformational Politics of Spirit" during the international conference at Rice University titled "Archives of the Impossible: Transnationalism, Transdisciplinarity, Transcendence." The May 11-13, 2023 conference featured speakers and panelists who set out to demystify the paranormal through their research and experiences regarding metaphysics, UFOs and much more.
Keating is the author, editor or-co-editor of 12 books, most recently "The Anzaldúan Theory Handbook and Transformation Now! Toward a Post-Oppositional Politics of Change."
Driven by the desire to bring esoteric/occult and Indigenous wisdom traditions into progressive social change and academic spaces, Keating’s work focuses on Transformation Studies (Womanist Spiritual Activism, Post-Oppositionality, Invitational Pedagogies and U.S. Women-of-Colors Theories), with a special emphasis on Gloria Anzaldúa, with whom Keating has collaborated since the 1990s. Keating also teaches Yin Yoga and edits a book series, "Transformations: Womanist, Feminist and Indigenous Studies," at the University of Illinois Press.
