Description

The Jackman Humanities Institute Working Group on Queer & Trans Negativity is pleased to announce the Queer & Trans Negativity Symposium, a day of panels slated for May 1st in the Jackman Humanities Building. Join us for generative discussions on queer and trans studies' long preoccupation with negativity, its potentialities and limitations, how negativity (and its refutation) impact our understanding of queer and trans art, cinema, and literature, and what, if queer and trans studies tend towards negativity, matters at the end of it all.

This a free public event. No registration required.
