David L. Eng Richard L. Fisher Professor in English
Description:
David L. Eng and Melissa E. Sanchez will discuss the critical and social implications of queer theory with an emphasis on its value for thinking about culture and politics across broad historical and geographical contexts. By extending the scope of queer theory beyond its usual boundaries of the contemporary U.S., Eng and Sanchez propose that we can better understand and contest the gendered, racial, and economic hierarchies through which sex and sexuality have become one of the primary languages of civilization and citizenship today.

Philip Nelson Professor of Physics and Astronomy
Description:
This event is free and open to the public. Register Here. Scientists often seem to be asking obscure theoretical questions. But sometimes asking such questions and doggedly following the answers leads to unexpected practical payoffs, as well as deep insights into how the world works. Physicist Philip Nelson will explore how the question “What is light?” leads to an understanding of how we see and to some powerful new ways to do so. If you have any questions about the event, please e-mail Julian Shendelman at juliansh@upenn.edu.
