Gender and Sexuality Studies Workshop We are excited to announce the Fall Quarter schedule for the Gender and Sexuality Studies Workshop. This quarter's theme is “Playing in Relation," and will be curated by Prof. Patrick Jagoda (English). This workshop invites conversations about different cultural forms and technological platforms of play, including videogames, analog games, virtual worlds, toys, performances, playgrounds, and make-believe. How does play open up questions about affect, imagination, desire, and precariousness, especially among people at play together? How do various types of play — from power plays to sexual play to playing with identity — emerge from different cultural forms and impact understandings of gender and sexuality? Monday, November 9th: Peter McDonald (Graduate Student, Department of English Language and Literature), "'Dancing, drinking, all the things that are pleasant in this world': Post-45 Variations in Sex and Leisure" ***Due to scheduling conflicts, we will be meeting on Monday (rather than Tuesday) for this session.
