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></font></span><ul><li><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font size="2"><b>Feng-Mei Heberer</b>, Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow, MIT</font></span></li><li><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font size="2"><b>Umayyah Cable</b>, PhD Student, Department of American Studies and Ethnicity, University of Southern California</font></span></li><li><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font size="2"><b>Fatima El-Tayeb</b>, Professor of Literature, University of California San Diego</font></span></li><li><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font size="2">Fourth roundtable participant TBD</font></span></li><li><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font size="2">Moderator: <b>Lisa Lowe</b>, Professor of English, Tufts University</font></span></li></ul><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font size="2">Feminisms
