The Tao Te Ching is a twenty five century old philosophical treatise explaining: how to understand the universe by seeing beyond the deceptive appearance of reality, why we should discard tradition (including family, government, education, religion, and money), why binaries are everywhere, and why only unhappy people care about the opinions of others. This session looks at two fundamental texts in Christianity: the Old Testament and the New Testament, to reveal their queerness. http://www.ucd.ie/werrc/events/ev_queer_0304.html   (5354 words)      Lawrence Cohen Before undertaking a Ph.D. in anthropology I pursued work in the comparative study of religion (with a focus on Hindu and Jewish thought) and then in medicine (with a focus on geriatrics and psychiatry).

As the editors explain in the introduction to the volume, the term "'queer' names or describes identities and practices that foreground the instability inherent in the supposedly stable relations between anatomical sex, gender, and sexual desire" (1). Queer studies is an epistemology, an approach to knowledge, as much as it is a topical field. http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0JVP/is_67/ai_108722204   (1199 words)      University Queer Programs The university's anti-discrimination policy, adopted in 1995, includes the categories of race, religion and national origin, but purposefully omits sexual orientation (vote of the Board of Curators, 29 January 1999).

The purpose of queer studies is not simply to affirm non-normative sexual orientation, but to interrogate the meaning of human eroticism. The more difficult argument that I will attempt to make over the course of the quarter is that "queer" implies a different sexual politics than the older identity terms do, in part because it entails the questioning of selfhood. http://www.mrs.umn.edu/~merrill/207B.html   (1027 words)      Bangkok's Independent Newspaper “The discrimination is still there for those who want to study these kind of topics.

We focus our studies by examining how comparison, translation, importation and exportation function when it comes to knowledge, identity, and power relations in sexuality studies. Grounded in U.S., international, and transnational case studies, the course examines how colonialism, im/migration, postcolonialism, diaspora, and globalization engender sometimes productive, sometimes thorny sexual politics within and beyond US borders and national imaginaries. http://www.macalester.edu/wgs/wgst294-01FALL.htm   (289 words)      Queer Studies at Wesleyan Note that these are courses that have been offered in the past. Prior to this, courses in Queer Studies were entirely dependent on faculty who could only teach such courses as electives, when time allowed. There is one member of the American Studies program, Professor John Vincent, who teaches sexuality studies more or less full time. http://www.wesleyan.edu/queer/academics   (664 words)      [KS] Korean Queer Studies Forum: A Call to Convene Could you kindly post the following message to the list? With the exception of translations from American and European studies on gender and sexuality outside of the Korean context, there is, to this date, not one Korean-language book that students can read on queer issues specifically pertaining to the Korea. Although queer groups now exist on Korean university campuses, pressures to conform to prescriptive notions of sexuality require that they carry out many of their activities in anonymity. http://koreaweb.ws/pipermail/koreanstudies_koreaweb.ws/2003-December/004005.html   (765 words)      The Encyclopedia of Buffy Studies Blood Relations: Chosen Families in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel (forthcoming from McFarland 2005). At the moment, he is working on a collection of essays on the show Queer As Folk, a manuscript on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and a poetry text called Stray.

In some universities, the field is called sexual diversity studies. Queer studies is the study of issues relating to sexual orientation and gender identity. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queer_studies   (360 words)      Art Journal: Things are queer - Duane Michal's photo series as a trope for queer studies - We're Here: Gay and Lesbian ... The queer of Things Are Queer is not a matter of specific sexual identities but of the world itself. The world is queer, because it is known only through representations that are fragmentary and in themselves queer. Michel Foucault begins his History of Sexuality with an attack on academics who think that raising the issue of sex is necessarily transgressive: http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0425/is_n4_v55/ai_19101779   (1363 words)      Women's Studies at Humboldt State University Multicultural Queer Studies is a cutting-edge interdisciplinary field, tackling core issues related to sexual orientation and identity, gender identity, new social movements, and the nexus of race, ethnicity, and sexuality. I believe it is crucial to view queer studies through the multiple lenses of race, class, gender, age, ability, and religion because queer people bridge all these identity categories and more.

Course offerings are wide-ranging and diverse, encompassing practical, artistic, cultural and intellectual aspects of queer studies. Queer Studies is an emerging interdisciplinary field whose goal is to analyze antinormative sexual identities, performances, discourses and representations in order ultimately to destabilize the notion of normative sexuality and gender. http://www.smith.edu/wst/queerstudies.html   (678 words)      Queer Studies in Poland - Our Initiatives We have dedicated ourselves to the project of developing queer studies in the belief that Polish intellectual discourse and the current political debates should be more open to cultural diversity, and that sexual diversity is an important aspect of cultural diversity. The synergy gives scholars access to information about issues pertinent to the queer community while it may also give the queer activists access to a language in which to describe and promote their activism in the public sphere. At the same time, we feel personally as well as intellectually attached to the validation of queer people and lifestyles in the eyes of the Polish society. http://tobasiuk.webpark.pl/html-eng/queerinpoland.htm   (574 words)      The Harvard Crimson :: Opinion :: Bring Queer Studies to Harvard Like such arguments, it claims to be about others who have not yet arrived, but it works effectively to de-legitimize the concerns of students who are already here. Work in queer studies or ethnic studies is often travestied as a form of navel-gazing on the part of marginal social groups. It is possible in one sense to think of universities as institutions whose function is essentially conservative: they exist in order to preserve and transmit traditional forms of knowledge, and so maintain profound ties to the past. http://www.thecrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=161781   (832 words)      glbtq >> social sciences >> Gay, Lesbian, and Queer Studies Gender difference refers to the spectrum of meaning defined by the binary terms "man/woman," while sexual difference refers to those defined by the binary terms "heterosexual/homosexual." Gay and lesbian studies investigates the kinds of social structures and constructs that define ideas about sexuality as expressive acts and sexuality as an identity. With the advent of the gay liberation movement gay men, lesbians, and their allies began openly and self-consciously to study themselves and how they were represented in history and culture, which led them to inquire how gender and sexual orientations have been, and are, constructed and conceptualized. Therefore, gay, lesbian, and queer studies cannot be defined exclusively by its subject matter, practitioners, or topics. http://www.glbtq.com/social-sciences/gay_lesbian_queer_studies.html   (679 words)      [No title] It is their intention, after all, that this collection serve as a primary textbook for courses in Gay/Lesbian Studies 101. That is, it embodies an attempt to "reorganize" sexuality studies from an oppositional stance that comes dangerously close to solidifying the epistemology of polarity. The Harlem Renaissance, for example, has been a recurring area of focus, as queer studies has sought to rethink cultural history in terms of the intersections of sexuality, class, gender, and race. http://www3.iath.virginia.edu/pmc/text-only/issue.194/review-2.194   (2098 words)      Denison University Queer Studies Concentration His teaching and creative interests lie in medieval manuscript studies, medieval and renaissance British literature, sexuality and culture and the history of the book. Through these courses, students should gain an understanding of and respect for human differences such as age, ability, class, ethnicity, gender, race and religion. While engaging with this diverse range of fields, the work of queer studies distinguishes itself by focusing on issues of sexuality as a central lens through which questions raised in these other arenas might be inflected. http://www.denison.edu/departments/qs   (599 words)      The Harvard Crimson :: News :: Queer Studies Advances Cause “Queer studies is about what thinking about sexuality can teach us about identity and desire in general,” says Lecturer on Literature Heather K. Love ’91. This discipline involves the study of queer theory—which focuses on deconstructing and questioning society’s definitions of gender and sexuality—and the study of gay and lesbian lifestyles and identity. Mari Ruti, a lecturer on women’s studies who is also serving on the committee established by Epps and Love, says the women’s studies committee needs to define the relationship between women’s studies and the new queer studies committee, so that the two committees reinforce—and not detract from—each other. http://www.thecrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=161959   (1036 words)      www.theory.org.uk Resources: Queer Theory Queer theory is a set of ideas based around the idea that identities are not fixed and do not determine who we are. This page provides a brief definition of queer theory, and several links to related websites. It suggests that it is meaningless to talk in general about 'women' or any other group, as identities consist of so many elements that to assume that people can be seen collectively on the basis of one shared characteristic is wrong. http://www.theory.org.uk/ctr-que1.htm   (288 words)      Amazon.com: Queer Studies: An Interdisciplinary Reader: Books: Robert J. Corber,Stephen Valocchi Queer Studies: An Interdisciplinary Reader is a collection of essays that over the past decade have helped to establish sexuality as one of the most vital and important areas of study in both the humanities and social sciences. Queer Studies covers the full range of issues, problems, and controversies in this still emerging field, including sexual politics, cultural constructions of sexuality, transnationalism, race and class, community, sexual citizenship, and the nation-state. This collection is clearly designed to give classrooms a single text to work from when teaching queer studies. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0631229175?v=glance   (928 words)      Why Queer Studies at Wesleyan? Rather, we ask for Queer Studies for the sole reason that any study and investigation of the world at large is incomplete and insufficient insofar as it ignores sexuality as a major element of the exchange of power, the investment of meaning, and a tool for the organization of societies across the world. Not only do Wesleyan students not have the option of a Queer Studies major, but we are not offered enough courses to legitimately fulfill the 'concentration' in Queer Studies within the American Studies and Women's Studies Programs. More than just a recovery of Queer history and experiences, Queer Studies attempts to explore and deconstruct the multiple and intersecting ways in which notions of sex and sexuality structure world systems and our daily lives. http://www.wesleyan.edu/queer/academics/why.html   (902 words)      The Harvard Crimson :: News :: Faculty Discuss Queer Studies But administrators rejected his proposal, saying the Committee on Women’s Studies already serves as an umbrella department for issues of sexuality. But Epps disagrees, claiming queer studies is at most an “uneasy fit” with existing programs. Currently, courses such as Love’s Literature 105, “Introduction to the Theory of Sexuality” and Epps’ Romance Studies 196, “Other Romances: Literature, Cinema, and Queerness” are housed in various departments and advertised only by word of mouth and e-mail. http://www.thecrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=161748   (580 words)      Queer Studies It is also the story of one man's spiritual and physical struggles with illness and death from AIDS and a return to new life.
