Intersections Symposium: Sexuality, Gender, Race, and Ethnicity

This Year's Theme: Masculinities

March 7, 2015

Morgan State University

Baltimore, Maryland

The biennial academic symposium, Intersections: Sexuality, Race, Gender, and Ethnicity, will be held on Saturday, March 7th, from 9:00am-4:00pm at Morgan State University’s (MSU) Student Center. This historical symposium is celebrating its third convocation: the first was held in 2011 and the second in 2013. The symposium is historic in that Morgan State is singular among Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU’s) in hosting an academic event that focuses the intersectionality of identity markers that include sexuality, race, gender, and ethnicity. The symposium brings together expert researchers from around the region. This year’s theme is “Masculinities,” and panelists will speak on a range of topics as they relate to the intersections of masculinity with sexuality, race, gender, and ethnicity. This year’s keynote speakers are Dr. Mark Anthony Neal, Professor of African and African American Studies at Duke University, and Mr. Kylar Broadus, Founder of Trans People of Color. The event is hosted by the Women’s and Gender Studies Program (WGST) at MSU and is sponsored by MSU, Towson University, the Human Rights Campaign and the National Black Justice Coalition.

LLC Doctoral Candidate Emek Ergun will present a paper at this symposium.
