Gender studies speaker coming to St. Lawrence University in Canton

Posted

CANTON — St. Lawrence University’s Department of Gender and Sexuality Studies and the Chaplain’s Office will host guest speaker Amber Jamilla Musser, the recipient of the Beyer Resident in Queer Studies, beginning at 4:30 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 20, in Carnegie Hall, room 010.

Musser is an assistant professor of women and gender Studies at Washington University and author of Sensational Flesh: Race, Power and Masochism (NYU Press). Her lecture, titled “Carrie Mae Weems and the Question of Brown Jouissance,” will explore the ambivalence of emotion that is provoked by Weems’ 1995-1996 photographic installation “From Here I Saw What Happened and I Cried.”

The lecture is free and open to the public. Visit www.stlawu.edu/campus-map for an interactive map of the campus.
