Associate Professor of American Studies, John Ibson, will be giving a lecture on Wednesday as part of the “Thinking Queer: Bringing Queer Scholarship to CSUF” speaker series.
Ibson is the second speaker in this series, following the first speaker, UCLA professor Anne Pelau, who gave her presentation September 22nd. Ibson will be presenting his lecture entitled “Same-Sex Marriage and American Culture: The Perspective of a New Groom and Longtime Scholar,” which will include the story of how he married his partner of over 30 years. His lecture will take place in University Hall 252 at 5:30 p.m.
The speaker series was created to introduce a proposed queer studies minor at Cal State Fullerton. The interdisciplinary minor is expecting to incorporate courses from the women’s studies, American studies, history and psychology departments.
The final speaker of the series is Judith Jack Halberstam, professor of English and director for feminist research at USC. Her lecture will be entitled “The Queer Art of Failure” and will take place on Nov. 4.
The Queer speaker series is sponsored by Psi Chi, CSUF Psychology Department, National Honor Society and the Women and Gender Studies Student Association (WGSSA).
