Call for Participants | “In My Queer Zone: ‘Vulnerable’ Bodies and Carnal Knowledge in Cancer’s Margins”, by Dr. Geneviève Rail | Online and onsite, University of Toronto, November 15, 2022.
Reflecting on Pronger’s legacy and ground-breaking writings on the body, gender, sexuality, desire, health, science and technology, Dr. Genevieve Rail will discuss recent research that aims to document how sexual minoritized individuals navigate fields of knowledge inflected by dominant discourses on biomedicine, risk, neoliberalism, homophobia and stereotypical rhetorics of “women’s health” and “lesbian health", in line with Pronger’s stout resistance to patriarchal, homophobic and territorializing projects.
