Gender, Sexuality, & Fem Studies

Nicole Morse - “Desantis vs Gender Studies: Fascism in the Freest State in the Nation”

Karina Barena Barajas - “Anti-gender movements in Latin America: a genealogy between neoconservatism and post-facism”

In this talk Maree ReMalia shares her journey through life and across mediums, from dance to writing to singing to boxing, via excerpts and explorations from her in-process solo performance, “with ourselves, with each other.” The solo aims to be a balm for the heart and a container for grief, an opening for joy, welcoming desire, acknowledging rage, and insisting on love, while exploring how a solo can become a gathering, a chorus, and a communal remembrance. Open to the college community and the public.

From Hookup Culture to Consent Culture

Workshop Description:
