Kathryn Stockton
“Oedipus Raced, or the Child Queered by Color”
Wednesday, December 3, 4:00 pm
193 Humanities
Kathryn Bond Stockton is Professor of English and Director of Gender Studies at the University of Utah. Drawn from her forthcoming book, The Queer Child, or Growing Sideways in the Twentieth Century, this talk theorizes how the category of the child is queer, in broad and narrow senses, both racially and sexually, even up through the 1990s. Specifically, the lecture offers a crossing: the point at which the ghostliness of the “gay” child lends certain meanings to the child queered by color.
