Second Announcement
Date: Friday, 8 September
2006
Time: 1.30 – 5.30 PM
(dinner 6.00 – 8.00 PM)
Location: WomenÕs Studies
Center
This workshop will emphasize
discussions focusing on the integration of LGBTQ-related scholarship within the
Colgate curriculum. It will
explore the emerging discipline of LGBTQ Studies, particularly its relevance in
a liberal arts context, and pedagogical options that are – and might be
– employed at Colgate to engage it.
Ultimately, the workshop will provide an opportunity for practical
dialogue amongst faculty with experience in incorporating LGBTQ-related
scholarship in various courses and those who are committed to and/or interested
in doing so.
All faculty and staff are invited.
