Please join us, and spread the word!<br><br>Our
roundtable explores the ways in which both "queerness" and "diaspora"
each displace normative classifications of sexuality and nationality,
with consequences for the imagination of "futurity" in literature,
visual culture, and cultural politics. As queerness complicates the
boundedness of an ethnic, national or religious collectivity that
desires to reproduce its own identity, so may diaspora unsettle the
normative white Europeanness of conceptions of same-sex desire.
Presenters discuss how diaspora figures both geographical displacement
and the crossing of figurative boundaries of person, culture, society,
and state, and they elaborate ways that queering describes not only
different embodiments of gender and sexuality, but also a skewing of
normative epistemology and social organization.<br><br>This event is free and open to the public.<br><br>Roundtable discussion participants:<br></span></font><ul><li><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><b>Feng-Mei Heberer</b>, Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow, MIT</span></font></li><li><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><b>Umayyah Cable</b>, PhD Student, Department of American Studies and Ethnicity, University of Southern California</span></font></li><li><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><b>Fatima El-Tayeb</b>, Professor of Literature, University of California San Diego</span></font></li><li><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Fourth roundtable participant TBD</span></font></li><li><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Moderator: <b>Lisa Lowe</b>, Professor of English, Tufts University</span></font></li></ul><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Feminisms
