Facilitated by Evan Coole, this workshop is intended to facilitate the participants’ ability to critically analyze PR and advertisements, corporate positions, and foreign policy statements that pertain to queer people. The workshop will differentiate international queer solidarity from pink imperialism. Emphasis will be on feminist/anti-imperialist understandings of queer politics and how to avoid positioning heterosexual Muslims and other heterosexual men of colour as a collective enemy of queers. Various examples and case studies will be presented, with a specific focus on Occupied Palestine.
Details posted in schedule.
