LGBT Resource Center Conference Room. Wed, Dec 2. 5-7pm
Check ItHomonormativity?  What exactly is homonormativity and how does it look like within the LGBT community?  Queer culture and queer subjects in media produce norms that have the power of marginalizing people within the LGBT community.  I know it's Week 10, but take a break and come discuss homonormativity and how it impacts the potential for progress within the LGBT community and the agency we have in our own lives!  If you have any questions or comments, feel free to email Christopher Datiles.
16 Days 16 DAYS OF ACTIVISM WOMEN'S CENTER BLOG
The 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence is an international campaign originating from the first Women's Global Leadership Institute sponsored by the Center for Women's Global Leadership in 1991. Participants chose the dates, November 25, International Day Against Violence Against Women and December 10, International Human Rights Day, in order to symbolically link violence against women and human rights and to emphasize that such violence is a violation of human rights. This 16-day period also highlights other significant dates including November 29, International Women Human Rights Defenders Day, December 1, World AIDS Day, and December 6, which marks the Anniversary of the Montreal Massacre.

The Women's Center is participating in the 16 Days Campaign with the following programs:

RACE AND THE NEW BIOCITIZEN
PRESENTED BY DOROTHY ROBERS, Ph.D., SCHOOL OF LAW NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY

Cross-Cultural Center Comunidad.
Fri Dec 4. 3pm

Some writers have celebrated a new biological citizenship arising from individuals' unprecedented ability to manage their health at the molecular level. My lecture will examine the role of race in the construction of the new biocitizen in light of the recent expansion of race-based biotechnologies and neoliberal reliance on private resources for people's welfare. I will critique how science, big business, and politics are converging to support a molecularized understanding of race, health, and citizenship that helps to preserve social inequities.

Part of the day's events will include a brown bag lunch with Professors Dorothy Roberts and Kalindi Vora from Ethnic Studies on Friday, Dec. 4 at 12:00pm in SSB-103. Participants will read an article published by each guest speaker prior to this roundtable discussion.
Limited seating is available, please RSVP at [email protected] to receive electronic copies of the articles.
