Graduate Symposium on Creating Space to Conceptualize Different Families

Posted on November 3, 2017 by | Leave a comment

Matthew Isherwood and Naoki Takemura organized an extremely dynamic Symposium on Creating Space to Conceptualize Different Families last week. I really appreciated the depth of presentations and challenges to consider and celebrate different families & ways of conceptualizing mothers and fathers. As well, the audience members all deserve a raucous round of applause! Special thanks for arranging with Dr. Kedrick James to attend,  speak, and interact with us throughout!

Graduate symposium on Queer Theory in Education

Posted on October 7, 2016 by | Leave a comment

Hector Gomez, Joanne Ursino, Kevin Day, Nicole Lee, and Xinyan Fan designed, hosted, and presented a superb symposium on Queer Theory in Education this week. In all dimensions, from queering the Scarfe 310 space to the exhibition of artifacts and texts to reflective analyses to an extreme engaging dialogue with Professor Pinar and all the participants the symposium was superb.

I am grateful for the insightful participation of the 601 PhD students and visitors, including the 601 students from 2015! Special thanks to Professor William F. Pinar for helping us work through analytical questions of LGBTQ and queer history and theory, and for the generous interaction for the entire symposium!
