一昨日、小山エミ（macska）さんがシカゴに到着されるやいなや、高熱を出すというアクシデントを乗り越え、昨日はmacskaさんの国際養子問題に関するトークが無事開かれました。keynoteを使ったトランジションも格好よかった！アメリカの、とくにシカゴ大学のような、比較的裕福なエリート大学において論議を呼ぶタイプのテーマだと思うので、macskaさんにいらしていただく今日の授業や、学生たちを交えてのディナーにおいても議論が続くのではないかと思います。どうなるか、楽しみ。
さて、金曜日には、シカゴ大学Center for Gender Studiesにて、"Intersex at the Intersection of Queer Theory and Disability Theory"というテーマで、macskaさんがトークをされます。ランチも出ますので、シカゴ近辺の方々はぜひいらしてくださいねー。
CGS BROWNBAG TALK
Intersex at the Intersection of Queer Theory and Disability Theory
SPEAKER:
Emi Koyama, Director of Intersex Initiative
DATE/TIME:
Friday, May 11 12:15pm-1:30pm
LOCATION:
Center for Gender Studies
The University of Chicago
5733 S. University Ave.
DESCRIPTION:
Intersex refers to congenital anomalies of internal or external reproductive organs, sex chromosomes and other variations of sex differentiation. Recently, the new medical terminology, disorders of sex development (DSD), was introduced to replace "intersex" in medical settings, with passionate arguments for and against the change from patients, families, scholars, and medical professionals. Intersex activist Emi Koyama will discuss how these debates represent both confluence and conflict of strategies and identities within the intersex movement, much of which derive from LGBT and disability politics, and offer pragmatic solutions to improve the medical treatment of children born with intersex conditions.
This event is free and open to the general public.
Sponsors: Japan Committee of the Center for East Asian Studies, the Center for Gender Studies, the Human Rights Program and the Center for International Studies
For assistance for persons with disabilities, please contact Gina Olson at 773.702.9936 or golson@uchicago.edu in advance.
