Title: Palestine in Perspective
Location: Art Space
Photographs by: Professor Gary Fields
Gallery description & captions by: Students for Justice in Palestin
The Palestinian narrative is often misconstrued or not told at all. This exhibit provides a photographic medium through which to understand the Occupation of Palestine. Our goal is to help community members visualize the present day realities of life under Occupation. The gallery coincides with Justice in Palestine Week as a way to promote the event as well as portray some Palestinian experiences. On Tuesday, May 6th, the photographer, Professor Gary Fields,will provide more insight about these photographs, the people he met, and their resilience. We hope that this gallery will help viewers put Palestine in perspective in terms of the impacts that apartheid and Occupation have on ordinary people. |

CGS 105: Queer Theory
Queer Theory/Queer Cinema
Mondays & Wednesdays | Summer Session 2
Instructor: Ashvin R. Kini
This course will offer an introduction to some of the key debates and questions in the study of lesbian, gay, trans, and queer sexualities. We will approach the field of queer studies by viewing a handful of iconic queer films of the past few decades: Isaac Julien's Looking For Langston; Dee Rees' Pariah; Jennie Livingston's Paris is Burning; and Wong Kar-Wai's Happy Together. These films will allow us an opportunity to engage a range of issues addressed in the various critical essays we will read by queer studies scholars and activists including the history of sexuality; family, kinship, and marriage; representation and performance; queer subcultures; and migration and globalization. Throughout our study, we will consider how gender and sexuality intersect with formations of race, class, citizenship, and culture. Click here for more info!

Racialized Hauntings, Ghosted Embodiments
Mondays & Wednesdays | Summer Session 2
Instructor June J. Yuen Ting
Gender/text/culture: in this somewhat unconventional "literature" class, we will see "culture" itself as "texts" to be read like literature, and take "gender" - or better, the critiques of heteropatriarchy - as the lens to analyze culture as texts. This course will explore "hauntings" as a genre of critical inquiry that attends to the surplused, unclaimed, and uncontainable relations of the empirical, juridical, and rational modes of knowing and embodying - as well as unknowing and disembodying - the enduring violence of slavery, genocide, imperialist war, and primitive accumulation.
