alt=" JASBIR PUAR Associate Professor of Women's Studies at Rutgers University. The Cost of Getting Better: Suicide, Switchpoints, Sensations. April 19, 2011 3:30-5:00pm INTS 1113 "The Cost of Getting Better" situates public discourse about bullying and queer suicide (e.g. the "It Gets Better" campaign) within the broader contexts of neoliberal demands on bodily capacity and debility. Jasbir Puar is the author of Terrorist Assemblages: Homonationalism in Queer Times (Duke University Press 2007), which won the 2007 Cultural Studies Book Award from the Association for Asian American Studies. Professor Puar has authored numerous articles that appear in Gender, Place, and Culture; Social Text; Radical History Review; Antipode: A Radical Journal of Geography; and Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society. Her edited volumes include a special issue of GLQ entitled "Queer Tourism: Geographies of Globalization" and she co-edited a volume of Society and Space entitled "Sexuality and Space". She is currently working on a new book project focused on queer disability studies and theories of affect and assemblage. Her most recent publication from this project is "Prognosis Time: Towards a Geopolitics of Debility, Capacity, and Affect" in Women and Performance: A Journal of Feminist Theory, Volume 19, Number 2, July 2009 , pp. 161-172.
