Join us for informal discussion with Lee Edelman, Fletcher Professor of English Literature at Tufts University. He is the author of No Future: Queer Theory and the Death Drive (2004), Homographesis: Essays in Gay Literary and Cultural Theory (1993), and Transmemberment of Song: Hart Crane's Anatomies of Rhetoric and Desire (1987). He is also co-author, with Lauren Berlant, of Sex, or the Unbearable (2013). He is currently completing Bad Education: Why Queerness is No Good.
This event follows Professor Edelman's talk from the previous day and is an opportunity for students and faculty to gather in a more intimate and informal setting for more extended discussion of the issues raised in the lecture, or to explore other aspects related to Edelman's works. We hope you'll be part of the conversation--all are welcome!
