Feeling Neoliberal: Homonormative Desires, Imperial Dreams

Lisa Duggan (Professor of American Studies and Gender and Sexuality Studies, Department of Social and Cultural Analysis, New York University)  will explore the ways in which frameworks for LGBT/Q politics in the United States have varied by geographical and demographic location and how they have shifted over time. She considers the legacy of empire and colonialism on current U.S. domestic equality politics and queer transnational interventions.
