Dear Friends of the Center,

In the last few months, a national conver-sation about sexual harassment has de-veloped within the public sphere. We can take the approaching 40th anniversary of Catherine MacKinnon’s influential paper, “Sexual Harassment of Working Wom-en,” as an opportunity to think about how workplace harassment entered into the cultural consciousness. In the late 1970s, MacKinnon and other feminist legal schol-ars fought to redefine behavior widely dismissed by employers as “boys being boys” as an illegal form of sex discrimina-tion under the Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This definition was expand-ed to the realm of education under the now much beleaguered Title IX. While the 1980s brought legal recognition of sexual harassment, however, it is only now that we are starting to see a notable increase in public awareness of both the preva-lence of such behaviors and the power of the culture of silence that enables it. From Hollywood to Capitol Hill to the halls of academia, people of all genders are coming forward to share the emotion-al, physical, and monetary toll of sexual harassment at work. To scholars of gen-der and sexuality, this form of collective

consciousness-raising is exciting, as are the glimmers of hope that we are starting to see a shift in how conceptualizations of and responses to workplace harassment. This growing conversation demonstrates the importance and power of critical fem-inist scholarship – scholarship we contin-ue to cultivate and support at the CSGS.

The central event for the winter quarter is our annual Iris Marion Young Distin-guished Faculty Lecture. We are excited to announce that Linda Zerilli (Politi-cal Science/CSGS), will be our featured speaker. Prof. Zerilli served as the faculty director from 2010-2016. Under her guid-ance, the Center experienced many new milestones, such as the development of the Gender and Sexuality in World Civi-lization sequence, which has grown from two sections to five sections in just a few years, and the remodeling of the Center’s home at 5733 S. University. She is the au-thor of an impressive array of articles and books on feminist theory, most recently A Democratic Theory of Judgment. On January 17th, Prof. Zerilli will speak on the topic of “Feminist Critique and the Real-istic Spirit” at 4:30 pm at the Center. A reception will follow.

Our programming for the winter quarter also showcases the exciting faculty-led projects we are sponsoring this year. On January 11th, Toronto-based artist and activ-ist Syrus Marcus Ware will give a day-long live drawing performance in the CSGS community room, part of his Activist Portrait Series, and an evening talk sponsored by the Contexts of Coalition project organized by vis-iting postdoctoral scholar Chase Joynt and in conjunc-tion with our programming theme of world-making in the time of backlash. The Gender, Sexuality and Global Capitalism project, organized by Kimberly Hoang (So-ciology), will be sponsoring two events. On January 31st, sociology professor Héctor Carrillo will be presenting research from his new book, Pathways of Desire: The Sexual Migration of Mexican Gay Men. The next week, on February 5th, sociology professor and University of Chicago alum Sanyu Mojola will be speaking about her research and her award-winning book, Love, Money and HIV: Becoming a Modern African Woman in the Age of AIDS. Prof. Mojola’s talk will be co-sponsored by the Gender and Sexuality Studies Workshop.

In February, the Counter Cinema/Counter Media project, led by Jennifer Wild (Cinema and Media Studies), will host and co-host three events: “Transitioning Publics” on February 1st will feature CSGS postdoctoral scholar and multimedia artist Chase Joynt and Professor Wild in conversation about the current state of trans represen-tation in media, alongside a screening of Joynt’s latest work, organized with the Film Studies Center (FSC) at the Logan Center for the Performing Arts. On February 8th, the project will host a close listening/viewing salon on “The Post-Weinstein Era”, as an extension of Wild’s fall course, Media Wars. And on February 16th and 17th, the project will co-sponsor the FSC’s two-night celebra-tion of pioneering lesbian filmmaker Barbara Hammer, including the Chicago premiere of her latest film, WEL-COME TO THIS HOUSE (2015, 79 min., DCP), a feature documentary on the homes and loves of poet Elizabeth Bishop (1911-1979).

Also in the month of February, we will continue a proj-ect initiated by past CSGS directors Lauren Berlant and Lucy Pick, Care @ Chicago, a series organized by the Center for the Study of Gender and Sexuality (CSGS) and co-sponsored by the Center for the Study of Race, Pol-itics, and Culture (CSRPC). The University of Chicago is associated more with rigor, ambition and social division than care and caring: care is traditionally associated with women and emotions, often delegated to the economi-cally hyper-exploited, and not often considered central to the life of ideas. But however unevenly distributed, vulnerability, stress, and compensations for them are everywhere in our immediate as well as larger cultural environment. Care @ Chicago will investigate structural stressors and reparative acts and practices for individu-als and communities in the contemporary world.

This project features a range of programming and events aimed at thinking about and actively maintaining men-tal and physical health at one of the hardest times of the academic year. Throughout the month, we will host an exhibition, “Can’t Wait: Participate” created by art-ist Angela Davis Fegan as part of her lavender menace poster project, this series on the theme of participation

as demonstrated care. The exhibition will be in the first floor community room with an artist’s talk and recep-tion on February 21st and a hands-on poster making workshop on February 23rd. Each Friday of February, we will be hosting free yoga at the Center from 11 am-noon. On February 7th, we welcome the UC Health and Wellness group, who will lead a 7pm workshop on “The Pleasures of Sex.” This workshop is limited to 25 peo-ple and will be registration is open to undergraduates only. On February 12th, we will co-sponsor a study break with UC Health and Wellness at the Center for Identity and Inclusion. From 6:30-7:30pm, students can drop in at 5710 S. Woodlawn for desserts and valentine-making. On February 14th, CSGS and CSRPC graduate fellows will hold a panel discussion on “Care and Self-Care: Man-aging Racism, Sexism, Homophobia, and Violence” at the Center from 5-6:30pm. The panel will discuss under-standings and practices of care for researchers, students and teachers who regularly engage with difficult issues related to sexism, racism, homophobia and other forms of violence and inequalities in their work.

The CSGS will also co-sponsor a number events across campus. On January 4th, we are excited to co-sponsor the Cinema 53 screening of Beyoncé’s “Lemonade.” The screening will take place at Harper Theater at 7pm and will feature a discussion with filmmaker Julie Dash, sing-er, songwriter and poet Jamila Woods and Jaqueline Stewart (Cinema and Media Studies). On January 25, Cinema 53 will host a retrospective on the work of Judy Hoffman (Cinema and Media Studies). On March 1st, we are collaborating with the FSC as part of their weekly documentary series, on a screening of Jane about the underground feminist abortion network that operated in Chicago from 1969-1973, with a panel discussion to fol-low. On March 2nd, Musicology and CSGS welcome Gen-der and Sexualities Studies professor – and College alum – Elliott Powell. The Divinity School will host a half-day roundtable on gender on March 7. On March 13-14th, the Divinity School, CSRPC, and CSGS will host a visit by Re-ligious Studies professor Jalane Schmidt, who will speak on the topic of “Race and Religion: Frontiers of Scholar-ship, Pedagogy, and Activism.”

We hope to see you at some of these exciting events!

College News The Gender and Sexuality Studies Program

The Center for Gender and Sexuality Studies offers a major, with a choice between a generalist path and dis-cipline-based path. Many of our majors, usually those who choose the discipline-based path, also pursue and complete one or even two other majors. We also offer a minor, which makes the most sense for students whose majors have little overlap with our courses. Descriptions of major and minor requirements can be found at http://gendersexuality.uchicago.edu/academic/.

If you have questions about the major or minor and want to talk about how they might fit in with your general ac-ademic goals, call (773-702-2365) or email (stuohey@uchicago.edu) Student Affairs Administrator Sarah Tuo-hey to talk or set up a meeting.

Spring Courses

This Spring Quarter, three Gender and Sexuality Studies courses will be offered. Divinity School graduate student Emily Crews will teach “Introduction to Gender and (Im)migration,” Political Science professor Linda Zerilli will teach “Problems in the Study of Gender and Sexuality: Public Feminisms,” and English professor David Simon will teach “Advanced Theories of Gender and Sexuality.”

Ruth Murray Essay Prize

The Ruth Murray Prize will be awarded for the best essay written by a University of Chicago undergraduate stu-dent in the area of women’s studies, feminist criticism or gender studies. The $500 prize sponsored is in mem-ory of Ruth Murray, who died in 1991, having served as Bibliographer for the Education, Psychology, Sociology and Women’s Studies Collections at the Regenstein Li-brary for many years. Ruth Murray had a strong interest in encouraging scholarship in women’s studies and often served as a stimulus and facilitator of work by students and faculty in the area. It is the intent of the Ruth Mur-ray Prize Committee that the essay competition sustain and encourage scholarship in women’s studies, as Ruth Murray did during her lifetime. Essays may come from students in all majors and may take the form of analytic or critical essays, empirical research papers, or personal essays.

Dear Friends of the Center,

In the last few months, a national conver-sation about sexual harassment has de-veloped within the public sphere. We can take the approaching 40th anniversary of Catherine MacKinnon’s influential paper, “Sexual Harassment of Working Wom-en,” as an opportunity to think about how workplace harassment entered into the cultural consciousness. In the late 1970s, MacKinnon and other feminist legal schol-ars fought to redefine behavior widely dismissed by employers as “boys being boys” as an illegal form of sex discrimina-tion under the Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This definition was expand-ed to the realm of education under the now much beleaguered Title IX. While the 1980s brought legal recognition of sexual harassment, however, it is only now that we are starting to see a notable increase in public awareness of both the preva-lence of such behaviors and the power of the culture of silence that enables it. From Hollywood to Capitol Hill to the halls of academia, people of all genders are coming forward to share the emotion-al, physical, and monetary toll of sexual harassment at work. To scholars of gen-der and sexuality, this form of collective

consciousness-raising is exciting, as are the glimmers of hope that we are starting to see a shift in how conceptualizations of and responses to workplace harassment.
