What is Sex For? With David Halperin Fri, March 18 | City College CUNY | NAC Ballroom (160 Convent Avenue) 5:00pm-7:00pm David Halperin is professor of the history and theory of sexuality at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. This lecture examines if sex have any erotic purpose? The greatest philosophers of classical antiquity said no. Halperin examines arguments which offer a serious challenge to modern interpretations of love, including but not limited to psychoanalytic interpretations, that understand love in sexual terms and that view all erotic desire as an expression of sexuality. Halperin argues that some contemporary gay male writing represents a singular effort to work through the confusions and the anguish that the modern sexualization of erotic desire has bequeathed to us. A reception will follow shortly after his talk.

Themes will include the role of policing in LGBTQ mobilization, the gay movement's debt to urban black politics, the politics of region and spatial scale, and the present and future of urban queer activism. Following Stewart-Winter's mini-lecture, Thomas J. Sugrue will lead a discussion by Phil Tiemeyer, Pauline Park, Alexandra Moffett-Bateau, and members of the audience.

  • No Promo Homo: the Sedimentation of Antigay Discourse and the Channeling Effect of Judicial Review
    NO PROMO HOMO: THE SEDIMENTATION OF ANTIGAY DISCOURSE AND THE CHANNELING EFFECT OF JUDICIAL REVIEW WILLIAM N. ESKRIDGE, JR.* Arguments againstequal rights for gay men, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgendered people have shifted from, "Those are bad people who do sinful, sick acts," to "A progay reform would promote homosexuality." Professor Eskridge's article presents a history of this rhetoricalshif, tying it to die rise of a politics of preserva- don by traditionalists seeking to counter gay people's politics of recognition. Eskridge also shows how modem antigay discourse has become sedimented, as ar- guments are layered on top of (but never displace)each other. Evaluatingthe vari- ous forms no promo homo arguments can take, he maintainsthat 11e most obvious versions are not plausible, and that the most plausible are not constitutionaL 77Tis archaeologyof no promo homo discoursehas interestingramifications for constitu- tional theory and doctrine. Among then, as Eskridge condudes, is the way in which the channeling function of law not only changes group rhetoric, but also group identity, and helps the state "manage" polarizingculture clashes.

  • Thinking Historically About Gender, Sex, and Sexuality
    Reading Guide – Thinking Historically about Gender, Sex, and Sexuality Gender, sex, and sexuality are important areas of research for scholars across the humanities and social sciences, as well as many scientific fields, including medicine. Historians have played a crucial role in changing the way we understand these topics. The readings for this week are designed to introduce you to some of the ways historians approach and analyze gender, sex, and sexuality, and also to help you begin thinking historically yourself. Required Texts: • Nancy Cott, “What is Gender History?” Speech delivered at the American Historical Association Conference (January 2005) 1-5. • Jeffrey Weeks, “The Social Construction of Sexuality,” in Major Problems in the History of American Sexuality, Peiss, ed. (2002) 2-9. • Jonathan Ned Katz, “The Invention of Heterosexuality,” in Race, Class, and Gender: An Anthology, 8th edition, Anderson et al, eds. (2012); pp 231-242. • John D’Emilio, “Capitalism and Gay Identity” in The Lesbian and Gay Studies Reader, Abelove et al eds.

Questions to Consider: Nancy Cott is a preeminent historian of gender and women’s history. What distinctions does she make in her short speech between the history of gender and the history of women? It what ways has thinking about gender contributed to and changed the way we understand US history? Weeks, Katz, and D’Emilio each offer slightly different approaches for thinking historically about sex and sexuality.

    Howard H. Chiang Ex Historia 1 Howard H. Chiang1 Princeton University On the Historiographical Politics of Queer Sexuality: Thinking across the Post-Colonial and LGBTQ2 Subjects of History Introduction Opening up the ‘archive’ of the historiography of sexuality, one immediately confronts a striking paradox: if so many historians nowadays acknowledge the ‘social constructionist’ nature of (homo)sexuality, why does a body of literature called ‘gay and lesbian history’ or ‘queer history’ still exist?3 Alternatively put, if sexuality is indeed widely recognized as ‘socially constructed’ across time and place, why are historians still assuming a core set of essential qualities that unite all those historical scholarships categorised under ‘gay and lesbian history’ or ‘queer history’, or even the ‘history of sexuality’? One might recall here David Halperin’s remark: ‘Once upon a time, the very phrase “the history of sexuality” sounded like a contradiction in terms: how, after all, could sexuality have a history? Nowadays, by contrast, we are so accustomed to the notion that sexuality does indeed have a history that we do not often ask ourselves what kind of history sexuality has’.4 In this paper, I wish to first and foremost respond to this important question by turning to the subaltern studies project and post-colonial historiography. My discussion begins with applying subaltern and post-colonial theory to my concerns about the essentialising tendencies of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) historiography.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION “Cultural Competence in the Digital Age: Trending #Apps, #Games, #Socialmedia” Welcome to the 33rd Annual Winter Roundtable on Cultural Psychology and Education, sponsored by the Dean’s Office and the Counseling Psychology Program at Teachers College, Columbia University. The Winter Roundtable is the longest running continuing professional education program in the United States devoted solely to cultural issues in psychology and education. The theme of the 2016 Roundtable conference is “Cultural Competence in the Digital Age: Trending #Apps, #Games, #Socialmedia.” We are very pleased to welcome future leaders and professionals, and will feature research and interventions regarding multicultural concerns in community, school, and family settings, as well as individual development, across a wide range of topics, including language, literacy, access, wellness, cultural values, training, and experiences with oppression and discrimination. This year's conference is a two-day program consisting of paper and symposium presentations, workshops, student poster presentations, and roundtable discussions conducted by invited and selected experts in the fields of multicultural psychology, education, and related disciplines. The Winter Roundtable continues its tradition of bringing together scholars, practitioners, educators, researchers, advocates of social change, and students who value the complex influences of race, ethnicity, social class, gender, sexual orientation, and religious affiliation in psychology and education. Several years ago, the Roundtable instituted the Social Justice Action Award, which celebrates the contributions of individuals who have exemplified social change through their principles and practice. The inaugural recipient of the Social Justice Action Award was bell hooks, followed by Jane Elliott in 2005, Linda James Myers in 2006, Ronald Takaki in 2007, Michelle Fine in 2008, William Cross in 2009, Concepción Saucedo Martinez in 2010, Bertha G.

  • Did You Really Just Say That?
    4/30/2019 Did you really just say that? FEATURE Did you really just say that? Here's advice on how to confront microaggressions, whether you're a target, bystander or perpetrator By Rebecca A. Clay January 2017, Vol 48, No. 1 Print version: page 46 "Can I touch your hair?" "That's so gay." "You'd be pretty if you lost some weight." Microaggressions—the brief statements or behaviors that, intentionally or not, communicate a negative message about a non-dominant group—are everyday occurrences for many people. In a study published in Educational Researcher (http://edr.sagepub.com/content/44/3/151.abstract) in 2015, for example, psychologist Carola Suárez-Orozco, PhD, of the University of California, Los Angeles, observed microaggressions in almost a third of the 60 community college classrooms she and her team studied, most committed by instructors. "No one is immune from inheriting racial, gender and sexual orientation biases," says Derald Wing Sue, PhD, a professor of psychology and education at Teachers College of Columbia University, who studies multicultural counseling and racism. "Everyone, including marginalized group members, harbors biases and prejudices and can act in discriminatory and hurtful ways toward others." The fact that microaggressions are often subtle can make them harder to shake off than more overt forms of discrimination, says psychologist Dorainne J. Levy, PhD, a postdoctoral fellow at Indiana University's Center for Research on Race and Ethnicity in Society. "There's uncertainty about whether or not your experience was due to your race, for example, or due to something unrelated, such as the other person being in a bad mood or having a bad day," says Levy, a visiting assistant professor of psychological and brain sciences.
