Item Why We Need Contemporary Art to Understand Sexual Violence(Scholar's Symposium, The University of Tampa, 2023-04-07) Dango, MichaelThis talk by Dr. Michael Dango shows how art by contemporary women and queer people of color actively theorizes where sexual harm comes from and how to end it. Looking closely at these artworks provides lessons and insights sometimes forgotten or overlooked in the #MeToo era. Michael Dango is an assistant professor of English and Media Studies at Beloit College. He's the author of Crisis Style: The Aesthetics of Repair (Stanford, 2021), a study of how contemporary U.S. art and literature responds to a pervasive sense of crisis, as well as the forthcoming 33 1/3 series book on Madonna's Erotica.Item Indians on Indian Lands(Scholar's Symposium, The University of Tampa, 2023-02-17) Upadhyay, NishantNishant Upadhyay (they/them) is an Assistant Professor of Ethnic Studies at the University of Colorado Boulder. This talk theorizes Indigenous and South Asian everyday proximities, relationalities, and intimacies, or what they call colonial intimacies, within the Canadian setter state by exploring short stories written by Cree writer Thomas Highway and Punjabi writer Sadhu Binning. Colonial intimacies engage with gender, sexual, and racial formations to theorize the coloniality of racial/sexual power.
