Thursday, October 3, 2024 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Event Navigation
This talk will explain what queer theory is and consider how it intersects with race, racism, and anti-racist activism. Professor Robinson will draw on Cathy J. Cohen’s foundational article Punks, Bulldaggers, and Welfare Queens: The Radical Potential of Queer Politics? to examine how queer theory and politics engage or fail to engage race and racism. He will also talk about how his own scholarship has relied on queer theory.
Lunch will be served outside of Room 170 starting at 12:40 PM. First come, first served. This event is open to all students.
