SUNDAY NIGHT ENVIRONMENTAL GROUP

Sunday Night Environmental Group (SNEG) is a non-hierarchical student org committed to climate and social justice activism. In the past we have pushed the college to divest from fossil fuels, passed anti-fossil fuel infrastructure resolutions in town, trained students on methods of non-violent direct action, occupied the statehouse, organized climate strikes, and so much more. We strive to ground our work in anti-racism, indigenous sovereignty, and community power. We meet in Hillcrest Orchard Room in person every Sunday night from 8:00-9:00 pm.

The Sexual Politics of Empire: Postcolonial Homophobia in Haiti
12:00 PM ET

Sponsored by:

Religion, American Studies, International & Global Studies, Gender, Sexuality, & Fem Studies, Sociology, Anthropology, Black Studies, and Global Gender & Sexuality

Erin Durban, a scholar of queer anthropology, will discuss their book The Sexual Politics of Empire: Postcolonial Homophobia in Haiti. Evangelical Christians and members of the global LGBTQI human rights movement have vied for influence in Haiti since the 2010 earthquake. Each side accuses the other of serving foreign interests. Yet each proposes future foreign interventions on behalf of their respective causes despite the country’s traumatic past with European colonialism and American imperialism. As Durban shows, two discourses dominate discussions of intervention.
