Phenomenology

Phenomenology: A field devoted to studying the ways in which consciousness is “directed toward something” and therefore situated

in the world.

(Sara Ahmed, Queer Phenomenologies: Orientations, Objects, Others (Durham: Duke University Press, 2006), 27).

Critical hesitation

Critical hesitation: A methodology that attends with care to hesitation as “a lateral reworking of the past along with the present.”

​(Alia Al-Saji, "SPEP Co-Director’s Address: Hesitation as Philosophical Method—Travel Bans, Colonial Durations, and the Affective Weight of the Past," Journal of Speculative Philosophy, 32, 3  (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2018), 331-359.) 

Love

Love: “Love is an action, a participatory emotion. Whether we are engaged in a process of self-love or of loving others we must move beyond the realm of feeling to actualize love. This is why it is useful to see love as a practice.”

(bell hooks, all about love: new visions (New York: William Morrow, 2001), 165)
