Are you curious about the connection between queer theory and daily life? Frustrated that your standards for social justice and change simply aren't supported by your peers/family/co-workers? Worried that college isn't adequately preparing you for your future? Yeah, me too. Join me in reading the introduction to Lauren Berlant's On the Inconvenience of Other People (PDF provided when you RSVP) and let's talk about all this and more. Berlant, one of the kindest, cutest, smartest thinkers of the 21st century so far, might just have some answers for us.
