DESCRIPTION:Join us for this event\, which is part of the CoDE Seminar Se
 ries.\n\nOver the last decade\, 'geographies of encounter' has been used
  as a shorthand for a body of work which has sought to document how peop
 le negotiate difference in their everyday lives. Yet whilst the notion o
 f encounter is frequently used\, less is said about how it is conceptual
 ized and what it says about how difference comes to matter. \n\nThe cent
 ral aim of this presentation is to argue that\, far from a general term 
 for meeting\, 'encounter' is a conceptually charged construct that is wo
 rthy of sustained and critical attention. In scrutinizing how encounters
  might be approached as distinctive relational events that are shaped by
  shock\, rupture and surprise\, the discussion will outline a number of 
 implications for how we approach difference\, power and transformation\,
  within work on race and ethnicity.
