CLAGS CONFERENCE:
Futures of the Field:
Building LGBT Studies
into the 21st Century University
In the spring of 2001, CLAGS will hold a major national
conference called Futures of the Field: GLBTQ Students and Studies
in the 21st Century. Our intention is to bring together
gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgender/queer student and academic
communities to consider questions about the intellectual
development of the field, and at the same time, to think about
student organizations, support for students, university
communities, and broader communities. In organizing this
conference, we plan to work with the National Gay and Lesbian Task
Force, the Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network (GLSEN), the
Hetrick Martin Institute, the National Consortium of Directors of
LGBT Resources in Higher Education, and the many other
institutions, scholars, and activists working in these areas. To
encourage people working in the field, we will be awarding three
prizes as part of the conference to an outstanding student
organization, to an outstanding teacher or mentor in the field,
and to a university doing important work in a GLBTQ community.
CLAGS has received some support from the Gill Foundation, and the
Richard Nathan Anti-Homophobia Trusts for this conference.
The conference will examine education and
educational policy from secondary school through graduate school
including:
- The state of departments and concentrations in universities
across the country. Professors and administrators will give
their perspectives on whether or not we're actually gaining
ground. This is an issue of vital importance, because the
presence of GLBTQ studies on campuses is the way that hundreds
of thousands of students across the country get exposure to
GLBTQ history. It's where they first hear about GLBTQ
contributions to society, and first understand sexuality as an
important component of understanding the world around them.
- The state of student/activist groups on campuses, and the rise
of anti-gay violence. This set of concerns builds on what the
National Gay and Lesbian Task Force began at the 1998 Creating
Change Conference.
- Practical support for the work. Another thing that is rarely
integrated into academic conferences are the practical
philanthropic questions that are so much a part of the lives of
non-profit organizations. It is our hope to put together a panel
that reflects a diversity of interests, and be useful to all the
participants at the conference.
- The possible futures of the academic work itself. Where is the
field going? What are the new disciplines and interdisciplines
out there? What are vital areas of study for both academic and
political reasons? What future conferences will be needed? At
the heart of the conference will be these questions about
strategies and possibilities. We want to raise questions about
the work itself, with several panels focusing on different
disciplines, and experts tracing out current work and delving
into the future. We also feel it is important to explore the
relationship to other disciplines and other kinds of minority
study, and to build bridges to women's studies, gender studies,
ethnic studies, diaspora studies, African-American studies,
Asian-American studies, Disability Studies, and Latino/a and
Hispanic studies.
- The relationship between universities and government over
GLBTQ/minority studies. We have seen in the last couple of years
that the universities are one of the first places to bear the
brunt of conservative reactions against changing social mores.
Academics find themselves in a relatively new position of
learning to create political strategies.
- The new possibilities of technology. It is commonly understood
now that the web, computerization, databases, and the
information revolution, are having a profound impact on both
academic work and political organization. However, the effects
of new technology on the intersection of politics and academics
has not been thoroughly discussed anywhere, although there is
important work being done in this area. This would be the first
conference to think about these issues from GLBTQ perspectives
on a national level.

Seminars in the City, Summer 2001
Contending Forces: Black Feminism and Queer Studies with
Frances White, NYU
The Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies (CLAGS), in association with The
Lesbian and Gay Community Services Center, announces it’s summer 2001 Seminar
in the City, which will be held during the month of August. This
groundbreaking series of free discussions for primarily nonacademic
readers centers around major works in lesbian / gay / transgender /
bisexual/ and queer (LGTBQ) studies. CLAGS Board Members, themselves
leading scholars in the field, facilitate the discussions. The August 2001
Seminar, Contending Forces: Black Feminism and Queer Studies, led
by E. Frances White of New York University, will take place at The Lesbian
and Gay Community Services Center in New York City and is free, open to
the public, and will be American Sign Language (ASL) interpreted. This
group will read and discuss E. Frances White’s Dark Continent of Our
Bodies: Black Feminism and the Politics of Respectability, Audre Lorde’s
Zami: A New Spelling of My Name and her Sister Outsider, and
Dangerous Liasons: Blacks, Gays, and the Struggle for Equality, edited
by Eric Brandt, over the course of the first four Wednesdays in August.
They will look at questions including: How do race, gender, and sexuality
transform each other in our lives? What do race and sexuality have to do
with class? What do black feminists have to say about sexuality and class?
What does Audre Lorde tell us about growing up black and queer? The books
discussed each week are available on loan from the CLAGS office on a
first-come first-serve basis, and Bluestockings, New York’s women’s
bookstore, stocks texts that will be covered by the group.
All events at The Graduate Center are
co-sponsored by Continuing Education & Public Programs, The
Graduate Center, CUNY.
All events in the Graduate Center are wheelchair accessible. Please
contact the security office at the Graduate Center at 212-817-7777
for further details.
Please call the CLAGS office at (212)
