Jennifer Brier, Women's Studies, Rutgers University Queer as...What? Friday, October 11, 2002, 2-7pmGraduate Center, Martin E. Segal Theater This two panel discussion will bring together scholars, journalists, media watch activists, and community intellectuals to examine a variety of depictions of LGTBQ people that appear in mass media today and at the changes in media that LGTBQ people have made themselves. Screening various TV and film clips, panelists will consider such questions as: How have representations of LGTBQ people changed? Is there really a connection between such images and public acceptance of LGTBQ people or advancement of LGTBQ rights? How have LGTBQ community newspapers, cable shows, and Internet sites changed over the last three decades? How has increased mainstream coverage of LGTBQ issues affected community coverage? How has advertising specifically to LGTBQ consumers affected our images of ourselves? Participants include Katherine Sender, University of
Pennsylvania; Richard Goldstein, Village Voice; Suzanne Walters,
Georgetown University; Richard Kim, NYU and The Nation; and others

Co-sponsored by CLAGS and the NYU Center for the Study of Gender and Sexuality. Queer Visualities Conference: Queer Visualities is a three-day conference exploring what we mean when we say that something looks queer. This conference looks at looking queerly in ways historical and theoretical. An inquiry into the attribution of queerness as frame, it will explore what happens when we blink between different kinds of seeing queerly: as recognition of something inherent in a work or in its making; as the (sub)cultural construction of an interpretive context around it; as an attribution of authorial intention; or as something entirely separable from authorial intention or even a willful misrecogniton of it. In exploring how different cultures and communities--racial, ethnic, classed, gendered, but also regional, national, etc.--see and create queerness differently, we will also explore why the discursive/literary analysis of queerness is so widely influential these days while its visualization is still comparatively weak. To register please call (631) 632-6320. The Queer Visualities conference will be held at SUNY Stony Brook in Long Island & Manhattan, and will be accompanied by an art exhibition of the same name at the Stony Brook Art Gallery and, on November 15, 7:30-10pm, comes to CLAGS for a queer video/web/film evening program in the Proshanksy Auditorium, GC. Sponsored by The Humanities Institute at SUNY Stony Brook, co-sponsored the Sexuality Research Fellowship Program of the Social Science Research Council, the Stony Brook Department of Art, and CLAGS.

Gert Hekma, Gay and Lesbian Studies, University of Amsterdam Monday, November 18, 2002, 7-9pmGraduate Center, Room 9206 Fifty Years After: Graduate Center, Skylight Conference Room, 9th Floor December 2 marks the 50th anniversary of Christine Jorgensen's sudden celebrity as a transsexual -- news of her surgery made headlines around the world and resulted in her being the most-written-about news figure in 1953. As she notes in her autobiography, news of her "sex-change" pushed the hydrogen bomb tests on Eniwetok off the front pages. This day-long symposium, featuring scholars and activists, will consider Jorgensen's legacy, as over the past half-century, her celebrity has remained a touchstone of transgender history, altering the discourse that had existed prior to that point and shaping popular consciousness ever since.

Segal Theatre Presented by the Center for the Humantities at CUNY'S Graduate Center; Co-sponsored by CLAGS Closets and Codings: The Spectacle of Queers and Jews in Hollywood Film Something sounded fishily familiar when Michael Ovitz declared that a "gay mafia" controls Hollywood. The reality is, of course, that without Jews and homosexuals there would be no Hollywood as we know it today. And the irony is that for an industry with so many Jewish and homosexual executives, Hollywood has always had problems making forthright Jewish or gay movies. Rather then rehashing the questions of "who has or doesn't have power and control in the entertainment industry," this panel of scholars and critics will focus on aspects of a more pertinent issue: how do Jewish and gay audiences see themselves in Hollywood films? Do they simply look for overt images of Jewish/gay characters and themes? How might Jewish and gay audiences "read" roles and plots as coded or hidden? Panelists will also discuss how mainstream critics evaluate a film based on their own preconceptions of "Jewishness" or "queerness".Michael Bronski, cultural critic and Visiting Professor of Jewish Studies at
Dartmouth; Bonnie Morris, Women's Studies, George Washington University; José
Muñoz, Performance Studies, New York University; and Suzanna Walters, Department
of Sociology and Anthropology, Georgetown University. Moderator Alisa Solomon,

Monette-Roger Horowitz Dissertation Prize The Politics of Prevention Come discuss the ideologically motivated attacks on HIV prevention and sexuality education and how you can get involved in the struggle.William Smith, Director of Public Policy, Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States (SIECUS); Mark Jason McLaurin, Associate Director for Prevention Policy, Gay Men's Health Crisis; Sean Cahill, Director, Policy Institute, National Gay and Lesbian Task Force; moderated by Carmen Vazquez, Director of Public Policy, NY Gay and Lesbian Community Center. Thursday, May 15, 2003, 6:30pm 119 West 24th Street Free(z)ing Speech LGTBQ writers, artists, activists and scholars have often found themselves stifled -- and sometimes even censored -- by external forces telling them to bear in mind such nebulous but persuasive powers as commercial viability or the tenure review board. And as the infamous case of the NEA 4 demonstrated, sometimes even the state intervenes to curtail queer expression. But what happens when LGTBQ people themselves police queer expression, even going so far as to appeal to the law -- city health boards, police, the courts -- in the name of values that they feel supercede the principle of free speech? When queer speech confronts other compelling concerns -- the fight against racism, for instance -- how should the community respond and what is at stake? What are the consequences when queers call the fuzz?This panel will consider such questions by examining specific instances of clashes between competing claims -- for example, the recent protests against Shirley Q. Liquor's performances -- as well as more theoretical questions of identity and the law. In the age of the USA Patriot Act and chilled political speech, how can both of the competing interests be served? "Free(z)ing Speech" is the first event in a series of programs that will address the relationship between LGTBQ interests and the law. Look for a September panel assessing the Supreme Court's decision on sodomy statutes in Texas, expected over the summer, and an October symposium, "Law: Friend or Foe," looking more widely at LGTBQ relationships and appeals to the law for good and for ill in such areas as custody, adoption, speech, immigration, and employment. Bill Dobbs, AIDS activist, media critic, and lawyer; Kay Diaz, attorney and activist; Amber Hollibaugh, Writer, Filmmaker, and Director of Education, Advocacy & Community Building at Senior Action in a Gay Environment (SAGE); Richard Kim, NYU and The Nation; and moderator Sonia Katyal, Fordham Law School.
