Can't attend Professor Sharpe's lecture Wed. February 24 at 4:30pm? Or, just want MORE! This event follow's Professor Sharpe’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. We hope you'll join us to continue the conversation around queer beyond repair–all are welcome!
