In anticipation of the 14th Annual Sequels Symposium, E3W invites you to the first of two Prequels events this semester. This roundtable on Digital Race and Sexuality will focus on the work of our distinguished alumnus, Shaka McGlotten. In Virtual Intimacies: Media, Affect, and Queer Sociality (2013), McGlotten explores the promise and power that the Internet and social media offer to queer men of color as they navigate relationships and communities. The panelists – Dr. Neville Hoad, Alex Cho, and Lily Zhu – will discuss the implications of McGlotten’s work for Ethnic & Gender Studies, considering also how his book enriches our understanding of the political uses of the digital. The panel will take place on Wednesday, Feb. 18, at 3:30pm, in PAR 308.
