Location: Buddies in Badtimes Theatre, 12 Alexander St. Date: Sunday, May 28 Time: doors open at 7:00 7:30 Keynote by John Greyson (full description on page 2) 8:50 Surprise Panel Event (not to be missed!) 10:00 Party! Please note: this event will feature a catered reception and cash bar. 1 Keynote Speaker: Paisley Currah (hosted in conjunction with Women’s and Gender Studies et Recherches Féminstes) Location: TBA Time: Sunday, May 28, 11:30-11:45 Neoliberal futures, cultural backlashes, and the politics of sex classification Until the last decades of the twentieth century, state enforcement of M/F sex binary had little to do with what we now call transgender people. Sex classification operated as a legal instrument that worked in concert with cultural norms to subordinate women. As states slowly retreated from sponsoring the subordination of women, it became possible for sex reclassification policies to change to recognize the gender of trans people. But in the current moment the M/F issue is transforming into a different kind of political instrument. Social conservatives are weaponizing the sex classification issue while big business celebrates gender diversity of all kinds. Keynote Speaker: John Greyson (hosted in conjunction with the Film Studies Association of Canada) Location: Buddies in Badtimes Theatre, 12 Alexander St. Time: Sunday, May 28, 7:30-8:30 (doors open at 7:00) Once is Not Enough: Repetition in Sex, Activism and Opera Why say it twice? The incessant repetition of a lyric phrase (spoken or sung) has been a foundational touchstone of operatic creation, activist mobilizing and sexual passion across cultures and millennia. Freud identified incessant repetition as the 'repetition compulsion', focusing on our repressed need to name what is unheimlich (un-secret) again and again, with unheimlich elaborating that paradox of repression and expression (the 'undecidable' in Derrida's sense) that engages the uncanny. However, artists and activists as diverse as DV8, Glass, Beyonce, Lepage, Cork/Blythe, Saga Collectif, and Steyerl all employ lyrical repetition in their operatic spectacles of sex, bodies and social change in ways which exceed this prison yard of the unconscious. In this keynote event, varied recurring and repetitive examples from opera, activism and sex will be rehearsed in relation to examples from Greyson’s recent digital films, Fig Trees, Last Car Jericho and Towel. Financial support for this session was provided by the Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences. 2 Sessions of interest hosted by other associations: The Politics of Transgender (Khwaja sara, Hijra) in South Asia: Religious Identities, Social and Legal Status of a Marginalised Community Time: Monday May 29th at 1:45pm, with the Canadian Society for the Study of Religion Location: SLC – Student Learning 514 • Religion and legitimization of hijra (trans*) identity in Maharasthra, India Mathieu Boisvert (UQAM) • Trans* Masculinity and the Struggle for Rights in Pakistan Shahnaz Khan (Wilfrid Laurier University) • Hijraism and the Global Gaze Claire Pamment (College of Williams and Mary) • Conflicting Categorisation of Gender and Sexuality: Comparing Two Judgments of The Indian Supreme Court Gopika Solanki (Carleton University) http://www.cssrscer.ca/sites/default/files/CSSR_Program_2017_Feb28.pdf Queering Violence: responding to intimate partner & sexualized violence in queer and trans lives Time: Monday May 29 5:15 -6:45, with the Canadian Sociological Association Location: TBA Chairs: KelleyAnne Malinen, Mount Saint Vincent University, Ardath Whynacht, Mount Allison University • The Hunt and the Hurt: Exploring Gendered Contradictions in Responses to Sexualized Violence Perpetration Jane Gavin-Hebert (Avalon Sexual Assault Centre) and Dee Dooley (Avalon Sexual Assault Centre) • Hazing rituals and sexual assaults: How the research maintains gender norms KelleyAnne Malinen (Mount Saint Vincent University) • Ppolice Responses to Reported Same-Sex Intimate Partner Violence in Canada Jessica Whitehead (University of Guelph) Myrna Dawson (University of Guelph) Tina Hotton (University of Guelph) • Black, Poor, Butch, and Violent?

Some travel to get away from their daily lives, to relax and unwind. Some go in search of adventure, from mild to wild. Many, particularly mature travelers who make up the majority of our clientele, love to learn while they are traveling. It’s the moment when everything in your world aligns perfectly. At that moment, life feels perfect. You are looking at a spectacular monument to humanity or nature (think Crazy Horse), listening to an amazing speaker share experiences or just enjoying the moment so much you can’t imagine being in a better place. Those of us who strive to create those moments for you feel the same way you do when it happens. It can be as small as the feeling on the bus when it pulls through the entrance to Disneyland (yes, even older kids… wait especially older kids, really get excited and you can feel the excitement on the bus).
