Start Block 4 with the campus community and our First Mondays speaker, Monday, Nov. 28 at 11:15 a.m.

Kathryn Lofton, a Phi Beta Kappa visiting scholar, presents “The Pulpit of Performative Reason: Transphobia as Religious Practice.”

Being queer is never safe. This talk thinks about where that lack of safety begins, focusing on the relationship between trans politics and a specific movement, freethought. Lofton’s presentation will focus on understanding trans-exclusionary radical feminists (TERFs), and their ability to declare what gender is and is not, which requires a foray into the history of religions to perceive why this is such a tenacious prejudicial rite of modernity, and why violence is so often its outcome.

The First Mondays Event Series is a campus-wide forum that aims to engage all members of the CC community, including students, staff, administrators, and faculty. The series creates opportunities for the whole community to gather, encouraging everyone to be part of the intellectual life of the college, and facilitating discourse among students, faculty, and staff, across courses, disciplines, and divisions. Classes are dismissed early on the first Monday of each block so that all may attend the First Mondays event.
