Biography

Centre for Cultural Studies, Goldsmiths University of London, Centre des études culturelles

Spiegel's dedication to raising awareness of groundwater contamination in Bhopal, India, stretches back to her work in Communications and Outreach from 2006 to 2007 with the International Campaign for Justice for Bhopal & Sambhavana Clinic and Documentation Unit with the Centre for Teaching and Research of Women at McGill University. With an impressively multi-disciplinary range of expertise, from an innovative philosophy of theatre in terms of the "eco-theatrical," through media theory, to biopolitics and subjectivity, her contribution to this workshop will be unique. As a junior scholar she will greatly benefit from this workshop, and as a dramaturge, philosopher, artist and activist, she will bring her own well-developed ethical and creative sensibility to this academic event.

Spiegel travaille à conscientiser les gens à la contamination des eaux souterraines à Bhopal, Inde, depuis son travail en communications et service d’approche en 2006 et 2007 avec la International Campaign for Justice for Bhopal & Sambhavana Clinic et la sous-section de la documentation du Centre for Teaching and Research of Women de l’Université McGill. Grâce à des compétences impressionnantes par leur multidisciplinarité, allant d’une philosophie du théâtre en terme « d’éco-théâtre » à la biopolitique et la subjectivité, en passant par la théorie médiatique, sa contribution à cet atelier sera unique. En effet, vu qu’elle en est au commencement de sa carrière universitaire, elle pourra profiter de cet atelier et pourtant, en tant que dramaturge, philosophe, artiste et activiste, elle pourra stimuler cet événement universitaire à l’aide de ses propres sensibilités éthique et créative.
