Panel 1: 11-12:30<\/p>\n

Queer Co-Morbidities: Approaches to Harm Reduction and the Criminalization of Illness\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

How might queer critiques of the criminalization and surveillance of sexuality and illness, of public health approaches, and the deployment of sexual shame and pride, help us to navigate the pandemic? How can we apply lessons from the HIV\/AIDS epidemic to move beyond the binaristic approach to covid in policy and public discourse (safe\/unsafe, mask\/no mask, social distancing\/social irresponsibility)? Three scholars of the history and sociology of public health ask how queer critiques of healthism, regulatory regimes, biopower, and surveillance apply in the case of covid-19.<\/p>\n

Moderator: Cati Connell, Boston University<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trevor Hoppe, UNC Greensboro<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jennifer Brier, University of Illinois, Chicago<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jih-Fei Cheng, Scripps College<\/strong><\/p>\n

Panel 2: 1:30-3:00<\/p>\n

Distance and Intimacy: Risk, Pleasure, Policing<\/strong><\/p>\n

What does queer studies have to teach about how to confront a global pandemic that puts distance between us when what we need most is community? This panel brings together a queer theologian, a theorist of new media, a scholar of race and sexuality, and a psychoanalytic thinker to discuss what the queer community\u2019s experience of the AIDS epidemic has to teach us about life in a pandemic. How can intimacy and community be preserved in a pandemic?<\/p>\n
