308 Converse Hall, Amherst College, Rts 9 & 116, Amherst. Karen Brodkin, Professor
Emeritus in Anthropology and Women’s Studies at UCLA, speaks on "Making
the Personal Political: How LGBTQ Politics Can Strengthen the Labor and
Immigrant Workers' Movement". The author of <i>Making Democracy Matter:
Identity and Activism in Los Angeles</i> and <i>How Jews Became White Folks and
What That Says about Race in America, </i>Dr. Brodkin will consider what a Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual/Transgendered/Queer
political perspective can offer labor movements, and how we might go about
learning what those contributions could be. Drawing on her current research
collaboration with LGBTQ organizers, Dr. Brodkin will discuss this project in a
conversation about queer political insights on society, the political
alternatives they raise, and how they could enhance the visions of progressive
social movements. Info: Stonewall Center, 545-4824, <a
