Use of the Center's space had been Trequested by NAMBLA for a poetry reading featuring Allen Ginsberg. In justifying the denial, the Center issued a statement that "it was not in the best interest of the Center" to allow the poetry reading to take place. In our opinion it was not in the best interests of the community or the Center to ban the reading. In matters of freedom and free speech, a basic principle holds that it's precisely how we respond to the least popular atti- tudes and beliefs that determines how free we really are. It's no challenge for a SOCietyto allow free speech to the popular, the bland or the mainstream. The real challenge is how we respond to groups like NAMBLA,whose agenda many find incomprehen- sible or abhorrent. For lesbians and gays, the principle of respect for diversity is especially compelling because much of society considers us to be incomprehensible and abhorrent. While we hope that with education and openness society will eventually come to a differ- ent conclusion about homosexuality, many may always condemn and oppose us. It's therefore incumbent on us to show by exam- ple how a free and tolerant people deal fairly with those whose sexuality offends the majority. Some have contended that because the sexual activity advo- cated by NAMBLAis illegal, we're justified in banning the group from our presence on legal grounds. But the fact is that homo- sexual behavior itself was once illegal here, and still is else- where. For gays, illegality itself is no excuse to condemn others, often quite the opposite. None of this is to promote or oppose the goals of NAMBLA. There are powerful arguments on both sides of that equation. Opponents level serious charges of child abuse, racial exploitation and inherent morals offenses against NAMBLA's philosophy., Defenders point to the almost universal history of intergenera- tiona! sex in human SOcieties,and argue that if one rejects the idea that sex is evil or damaging, and accepts the reality of childhood sexuality, arguments against consensual man-boy love melt away. Despite the fascinating implications of these arguments, gays and lesbians who come down firmly against the goals of NAM- BLA are vastly in the homosexual majority. They are aware that one of the chief weapons used against us by homophobes is that we are all child-molesters, and they are justifiably eager to dis- avow that image. But banning a group like NAMBLAfrom the commons is far too harsh a method of disavowal. In this, as in all other cases of sexual difference, how we act is far more telling than what we say.

    Roditi, Edouard (1910-1992) by John McFarland Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2006 glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Poet, translator, literary and art critic, and short story writer, Edouard Roditi was associated with most of the twentieth-century's avant-garde literary movements from Surrealism to post-modernism. For more than sixty years, he produced such an astonishing variety of smart, lively, and moving poetry and prose that nobody objected when he dubbed himself "The Pharaoh of Eclecticism." A member of several predominantly homosexual social circles, Roditi maintained friendships with literary and artistic figures ranging from Paul Bowles and Jean Cocteau to Paul Tchelitchew and Christian Dior. His art and literary criticism held artists and writers to the very highest standards and insisted that intense but uncritical infatuation with flashy new trends could end in disappointment and heartbreak. His Internationalist Birthright Roditi was born in Paris on June 6, 1910. He was the beneficiary of a remarkably rich confluence of heritages--Jewish, German, Italian, French, Spanish, and Greek--and was truly international, both American and European. His father, Oscar, an Italian born in Constantinople, had become a United States citizen after his father emigrated to America and gained citizenship. Although Oscar's father had left the family behind in Europe, all the family in Europe became citizens when he did by virtue of the citizenship statutes in force at that time. Roditi's mother, Violet, had an equally rich family history. She was born in France but became an English citizen in her youth. When she married Oscar, she too became a United States citizen.

    LGBTQ Organizations Unite in Calling for Transformational Change in Policing

    LGBTQ Organizations Unite in Calling for Transformational Change in Policing Black people have been killed, Black people are dying at the hands of police, our country is in crisis, and we all need to take action. We cannot sit on the sidelines, we cannot acquiesce, and we cannot assign responsibility to others. We, as leaders in the LGBTQ movement, must rise up and call for structural change, for divestment of police resources and reinvestment in communities, and for long-term transformational change. Now is the time to take action, and this letter amplifies our strong calls for urgent and immediate action to be taken. Ongoing police brutality and systemic racism have plagued this nation for generations and have been captured on video and laid bare to the public in the United States and around the world. In 2019, more than 1,000 people were killed at the hands of the police.1 We mourn the unacceptable and untimely deaths of Michael Brown, Tamir Rice, Sandra Bland, Philando Castile, Eric Garner, Stephon Clark, Freddie Gray, George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Mya Hall, Tony McDade, Rayshard Brooks, and many more who were gone too soon. We have seen with increased frequency the shocking video footage of police brutality. Officers have been recorded instigating violence, screaming obscenities, dragging individuals out of cars, using unnecessary force, holding individuals at gunpoint, and kneeling on peoples’ necks to the desperate plea of “I can’t breathe.” These occurrences are stark reminders of a police system that needs structural changes, deconstruction, and transformation. No one should fear for their lives when they are pulled over by the police.

    Fall 2016 Graduate Seminars Fall 2016 ENG 751 R: Nineteenth-Century American Literature: Nineteenth-Century Temporalities Benjamin Reiss Tuesdays 4-7 pm Concepts of time structure every field of inquiry, from relativity in physics to rhythm in music, from deep time in geology to the periodization of art, literature, and history. Some systems of time are derived from the natural world (the cycle of seasons, the rising and falling of the sun, circadian rhythms), whereas others are completely culturally constructed (seven days in a week, sixty seconds in a minute, twelve days of Christmas, etc.) This course will explore how conceptions of time such as periodization, lineage, and contemporaneity structure our understanding of literary works; how we can grasp the temporal experience of reading as a part of interpretation; and how literature of the American nineteenth century reflected and responded to contemporaneous temporal systems. These latter developments include industrial time, notions of progress and history, sacred time, domestic timekeeping, geological time, and standardized time, each of which influenced notions of race, ability, sexuality, gender, and national identity. Literary authors to be studied will likely include Cooper, Melville, Whitman, Stowe, Hawthorne, Thoreau, Douglass, Jewett, Twain, Bellamy, and Gilman. Critics and theorists will include Karl Marx, G.W.F. Hegel, Benedict Anderson, Johannes Fabian, E. P. Thompson, Jack Halberstam, Michelle Wright, Paul Gilroy, Wai Chee Dimock, Dana Luciano, Cody Marrs, and Virginia

Biographical Notes Charles Henri Ford Poet, artist, filmmaker, and editor, Charles Henri Ford was born on February 10, 1913, in Brookhaven, Mississippi. In 1929, having dropped out of high school, Ford began his literary career as co-editor, with Parker Tyler, of Blues: a magazine of new rhythms (1929-1930). Published in Columbus, Mississippi, this literary magazine showcased the new schools of modern art and literature, publishing such contemporary writers as Gertrude Stein, William Carlos Williams, Erskine Caldwell, Ezra Pound, and e. e. cummings. By 1931 Charles Henri Ford had left the United States for France, the beginning of his world travels. During his first few years abroad, Ford wrote his only novel, the classic The Young and the Evil (Obelisk, 1933). Since that time, Ford has lived in Morocco, Italy, France, Crete, and New York City; and his poetry, films, and artwork have reflected his international travels and multicultural experiences.

The University's history provides uniquely fertile ground for studies of diverse groups and their interactions in institutions of higher education, but the lack of a functioning archives has long impeded such study. It was a pioneer in women's colleges, intended to serve the educational needs of all economic classes, teaching Latin and penmanship alongside dressmaking and stenography. It also offers the distinctive perspective of a college explicitly founded for white women that underwent integration in the 1960s, which is still largely unexplored in MUW's case. Finally, it is distinctive in being both the first publicly funded women's college in the United States, and also the last one.
