Gender and Sexuality Studies Workshop
The quarter's theme is "Gender and Slavery," and the papers will address the interrelations between gender, sexuality, and enslavement across different historical periods, including contemporary forms of slavery.
*January 20th, 2015: Gender and Enslavement: A Methodological Overture. An open and informal discussion with Professors Reginald Jackson and Agnes Lugo-Ortiz. NO READING REQUIRED
Description:
Gender constructions and regimes of enslavement do not share one and the same universal structure or meaning. They are historically situated. But so are the methodological and disciplinary tools through which we make of their intersection an object of study. What theoretical and practical challenges do we face in posing an interdisciplinary and transhistorical exploration of the relations between "gender" and "slavery"? What different historical phenomena actually come into being through their analytical juxtaposition? What dialogues might such a juxtaposition enable or curtail? In this session professors Reginald Jackson (East Asian Languages and Civilizations) and Agnes Lugo-Ortiz (Hispanic and Luso-Brazilian Studies) will lead an open discussion of these issues, taking as points of departure case studies from their own areas of specialty.
