Queer Theory and The End of Everything: Race, Economies, Sexuality
(building C7 4, room 1.17)
This workshop will develop a queer theoretical conversation around questions of futurity, endings, beginnings, utopias and dystopias, temporality and spatiality. We will read new work in queer theory that addresses questions about political economy, race and sexuality, immigration and labor and that develops new critical tools for developing models of resistance. Readings will include work by: Dean Spade, Chandan Reddy, Fatima El Tayib, Rod Ferguson, Tavia Nyong'o, Kale Fajardo and Natasha Tinsley.
