Positive Space Speaker Series: Tues March 25th, 6pm
The Positive Space Speaker Series presents Dr. Andil Gosine Tuesday March 25th, 6pm in Watson Hall Room 517 on:
“Men who have Sex with Men in Miss Diva’s Worlds: Notes on Heteronationalist Impulses in the Caribbean”
A recent trip to Trinidad and Tobago and a Sexuality Rights workshop in Barbados provide starting points for Dr. Gosine’s consideration of some ways in which heteronationalism takes shape in the Anglo-Caribbean, and may be facilitated (not challenged) by international development interventions and global gay and lesbian rights organizing.
Andil Gosine is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology at York University. His research considers the articulated collaboration of ‘race’, gender, sexuality and class in various contexts, including international development, environmental politics and sexual cultures. His work has appeared in journals such as Topia Journal of Cultural Studies, Men and Masculinities, and Canadian Woman Studies, and he has contributed to the recently published collections Queer Online and Queer Youth Cultures, and the forthcoming Queer Ecology. Dr. Gosine is currently at work tracing transnational, feminist genealogies of ‘Men who have Sex with Men,’ intended for publication as a book next year.
This speaker series has been made possible through the Queen’s Cold Beverage Fund. For more information please contact info[at]opirgkingston.org. All are welcome!
