Andrew Parker: “Male Maternity in Nietzsche: Queering the Mother’s Gender”

• Monday, Oct. 3; 4:30 p.m.
• Estabrook 303

Andrew Parker, professor of English at Amherst College, is the editor or co-editor of a number of important collections of essays that helped shape the emergence of queer theory in the 1990s, including “Nationalisms and Sexualities” (1992) and “Performativity and Performance” (1995). His recent collection, “After Sex? On Writing since Queer Theory” (2007) publishes essays by authors who have moved on to new subjects and asks whether there is a continuity between their initial queer work and their current work.

This talk is part of the series, “Queer Theory at the Roundabout,” sponsored by the Henry J. Leir Chair.
