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?
