North American Literary and Cultural Studies (NamLitCult) at Saarland University offered a two-day workshop on gender and queer theories as well as practices on June 30, 2011 and July 1, 2011.

In the mornings, we had workshop sessions on "Identity, Politics and Ethics: Judith Butler and Queer Theory" led by Eveline Kilian (HU Berlin) and on "Queer Theory and The End of Everything: Race, Economies, Sexuality" led by Judith Jack Halberstam (USC). In the afternoons, students were able to present and discuss their projects. In the evenings, we had a lecture by Judith Jack Halberstam as well as a screening of the documentary film "Travel Queeries." Elliat Graney-Saucke (Berlin/Seattle), the director, was present and happy to discuss the film. Afterwards, there was also a genderqueer performance by Sir La Muse.
