We had a super engaging discussion about gender, sexualities, hetero- and homonormativity, love, families, capitalism and consumerism in the context of Valentine’s Day. Students and faculty from Sociology, Anthropology, Political Science and other departments shared their questions and perspectives.
Many thanks to Avi Ames, Silvia Bartolic, and Becki Ross for guiding our conversation.

We are all looking forward to more events like this one!
What a great discussion! The history of Halloween; scary monsters and happy monsters; sexy costumes, insensitive costumes and witty costumes; home made treats vs. packaged candy; Halloween in movies and TV; Halloween from inside and outside; fears and anxieties; vampires vs. zombies; cultural imperialism, consumer culture, diversity training. We discussed it all!
