Love, hate and a quest for change in small town America.

Event type: Film
Location: Stern Center Great Room
Fee: Free

The announcement of filmmaker Joe Wilson’s wedding to another man ignites a firestorm of controversy and a quest for change in the small Pennsylvania hometown he left long ago. Drawn back by a plea for help from the mother of a gay teen being tormented at school, Wilson takes viewers on an exhilarating journey through love, hate and understanding in rural America. Film screening followed by panel discussion and community dialogue. For more information visit: http://wpsu.org/outinthesilence/ and http://www.facebook.com/OutintheSilence.

Gifting a GLBT Legacy

http://www.dickinson.edu/news-and-events/publications/dickinson-magazine/2010-winter/Gifting-a-GLBT-legacy/

Colleagues,

Several students in my WGST 300 (Love, Sex, Desire) have expressed a desire to continue conversations beyond the classroom, specifically to think about how we can take the material we learn in class (i.e., consciousness, raised) and apply it beyond the halls of Denny (i.e., action). There is no particular issue on the table, but rather a pressing need to explore praxis and application in practical ways.  To facilitate this conversation, I’ve reserved the resource room of Landis House, at the corner of College and Pomfret, for Thursday, Feb. 25, 6-8 p.m.  If you’re inclined, please join us for an informal chat about how we can talk the talk AND walk the walk. (there’s no one way to do this, to be sure … but won’t it be fun to think about applying the core concepts of your degree before you graduate??)

Sincerely,

Prof. Gilmore
