Queer X Faculty Flash Talks: A Roundtable

Join us for an event series organized by Sa Whitley and Julia Himberg, the co-directors of the Queer X Humanities initiative at the ASU Humanities Institute. This roundtable features five prominent ASU scholars with an eclectic array of research projects and scholarship situated in Queer Studies and/or Transgender Studies. These faculty members will give 5-7 minute “flash talks” about their current research projects and identify emergent and provocative directions for queer and trans theories, epistemologies, methodologies. The Queer X Co-Directors will moderate a subsequent roundtable discussion and audience Q&A, inviting panelists to bridge academic scholarship with contemporary politics, art, and subculture and fostering connections and dialogue in this significant research area across ASU.  

Confirmed speakers include:

Aviva Dove-Viebahn, Film & Media Studies, Department of English,

Crystal Jackson, Women & Gender Studies, School of Social Transformation

Rachel Corbman, Women & Gender Studies, School of Humanities, Arts and Cultural Studies
