INTERSECTIONS: "Breaking the Silence: Discussing Racial Issues in the Queer Community" (part 1 of 2) Race has nothing to do with the Queer movement. Queer representation is as diverse as it needs to be. It should just be a QUEER movement. What do you think of these problematic statements? By discussing race, power, privilege, and other issues in our communities, and then bringing it to the Queer community as a whole, we shall delve into the silence and the barriers which segregate the Queer movement and then discuss proactive solutions. This interactive workshop and discussion will challenge participants to make new discoveries about themselves, others, society, and the Queer community. Open to all conference attendees. Attendence at both sessions of this workshop is strongly recommended for a full understanding of the workshop material. Presenters: This workshop is co-organized by members of two UCSC groups: CLUH (Challenging, Learning about & Undermining Heterosexism) and QoC (Queers of Color). Robert Imada is a member of both organizations and is a third year student at UCSC; he has done extensive work on issues of heterosexism and racism. Dylan Winn Garner is a trannyboy, social psychology major from UCSC. Room: Arts Bldg. 1241 (and 1245, 1247) |
