Working Groups and Projects Race, Sexuality and the Transnational Featured Presenters: Gayatri Gopinath, Women and Gender Studies, University
of California, Davis
New critical scholarship on racialized sexuality is explaining racial and sexual power within the transnational dynamics of colonialism, diaspora, migration, and global capitalism. This research institute seeks to clarify an emergent field of study which is crossing academic boundaries and moving marginal topics to the center. The institute does so by asking how new work relates to legacies of feminist and queer anti-racisms, such as women of color feminism and queer of color organizing, including by inspiring new research and mobilizations today. The institute features presenters whose first book or other major works are defining transnational studies of race and sexuality and engaging their links to feminist and queer anti-racisms. Presenters and participants will consider:
This research institute welcomes scholars from
Minnesota and across the U.S. who wish to engage new scholarship
and create new relationships in support of their research and teaching.
The institute seeks to maximize dialogue. Speakers are paired so
as to engage synergies in their work. Respondents to each session
will link papers while reflecting on their connections to their
own research. Audience discussion in each session will be augmented
by the institute’s conclusion in break-out discussion groups,
where the topics of the sessions will be examined towards proposing
directions for future work. We hope that the ideas brought to and
generated by the institute will inspire participants to form new
and rewarding conversations and collaborations. Scott Morgensen, Assistant Professor
of Women’s and Gender Studies, Macalester College THANKS
