Women's Space Conference: May 20, 2014, 5:30 - 7 pm

Women's Space Conference:  Between Rights and Representations:  LGBTQ Movements in the US from the '70's to Today - Elisabetta Bini

How have lgbtq (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, queer) movements redefined U.S. politics, society and culture since the 1970s?  What is their role in contemporary debates about lgbtq rights and identities?

Elisabetta Bini, Research Fellow at the University of Trieste, will explain the ways in which lgbtq movements have challenged the specific forms of discrimination carried out against gays, lesbians, bisexual and transgender people in the U.S.; the relations they have established with other movements and groups, such as feminists; and how they have defined their rights (including marriage rights) and identities.
