Rethinking Sex
Thought you guys would like to know about a conference, Rethinking Sex, upcoming at UPenn March 4-6, which is advertising itself as “a historical event” in the field of gender ad sexuality studies. The conference will revisit Gayle Rubin’s landmark essay, “Thinking Sex” (1984), and examine the history and “state of the field” of gender and sexuality studies. The roster includes such influential scholars as Lauren Berlant, Leo Bersani, Lee Edelman, Judith Halberstam, José Esteban Muñoz, Gayle Rubin, Eve Sedgwick, Susan Stryker, and Carole Vance. Three Bryn Mawr faculty members–Homay King, Lázaro Lima and Hoang Nguyen–will also be there as moderators, and I’m planning to catch as many of the sessions as I can.The conference is free, but they are requesting people to register online.
