Anchored by an account of the experience of being stalked by a student, this book features chapters on the debilitating forms of alienation generated by violations of queer work; sexual harassment and workplace paranoia; the forms of disavowal which allow harassment to flourish, and a meditation on the way that sexual violence shapes relationships between women within heteropatriarchy.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><br></div><div>Attached is a flyer with all the relevant schedule information, abstract, and bio. Refreshments will be provided. Please circulate widely!</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you to Dr. Doyle for offering to share her work, and to the department’s Christy Gray, and to Drs. Mark Minch-de León and Chris Berardino, for planning, flyer design, and scheduling.</div><div><br></div><div>Hope to see you on April 10!
