LGBT STUDIES PROGRAM
and the
HOFSTRA CULTURAL CENTER
present a symposium
Queer Iconography
Third Annual LGBT Symposium
Friday-Saturday
November 7-8, 2008
The facility with which gays and lesbians move between pop cultural icons and emblematic iconography often attests to the oft-touted camp sensitivity of the "LGBT world." Do "icon" and "iconography" cohabitate in the queer world? How important is this symbolism to our culture? The keynote speaker at the symposium will be Robin Nussbaum, Coordinator, Gender and Sexuality Resource Center, State University of New York, College at Oneonta who will speak on "Good Gays & Bad Guys: Icons and Narratives as Helpful or Limiting?"
A full schedule of events and registration information is available in the Symposium Registration Program.
