PODCAST THE ENTIRE INTERVIEW
Wednesday night on RadioActive: Brandie welcomes Lisa Duggan,
Professor of Social and Cultural Analysis, and Director of the Program in American Studies at New York University.
She is the author of Twilight of Equality: Neoliberalism, Cultural Politics and the Attack on Democracy (Beacon, 2003). We'll be talking about her forthcoming anthology:
A NEW QUEER AGENDA:
A Practical Guide for How to Turn the Gay Rights Movement Into A Progressive Fight for Social Justice (and Succeed!) by Queers for Economic Justice
Edited by Joseph DeFilippis, Lisa Duggan, Monroe France and Richard Kim
"One of the primary goals of A New Queer Agenda is to bridge the growing gap between queer activists and academics. In the 1980s, organizations like ACT UP once nurtured a dense web of relations among artists, writers, organizers, cultural theorists, scientists, and policy analysts. In that spirit, A New Queer Agenda seeks to forge new connections among activist, cultural and academic intellectuals."
If you are an activist or academic looking "beyond marriage" for your queer activism then please join the conversation! RADIOACTIVE airs live this TUESDAY NOV. 12th from 6-7pm, mst on KRCL 90.9 FM, www.krcl.org. I'll post the podcast on Thursday.
