The Institute for LGBT Studies at The University of Arizona: Calendar for Academic Year 1999-2000

FALL 1999

November 4, 1999

Fall Symposium - A Queer World: Sex, Race & Globalization

Featuring Guest Speakers

Arnoldo Cruz-Malavé: Professor of Spanish Department, Fordham University

Martin Manalansan: Professor of Anthropology, University of Illinois

Licia Fiol-Matta: Professor of Spanish and Latin American Cultures, Barnard College

UA Respondents

Spike Peterson, Professor of Political Science

Sallie Marston, Professor and Head Department of Geography

The battle over gay rights is being fought out, in part, through battles over economics. Will promoting ourselves as a niche market produce political rights? Can we deter right-wing boycotts of companies providing domestic partners benefits to their employees? How are these economic battles related to others, like movements against sweatshops? How can we think about these issues together?

This symposium will begin a dialogue for all of us---as citizens, consumers and producers---to understand the complexity, diversity and interrelations of gender, sexuality, race and the new global economy.

This program was made possible in part by a grant from the Arizona Humanities Council. This event is free and open to the public.
