Gender in the Making: Southern Rock and Calcutta's Slums
Free.
Time: 7:00 PM
Location: St. John Fisher College Basil 216
Two talks examining the construction and reproduction of gender in specific contexts. In "Rebel Masculinity" Jason Eastman examines how Southern rock bands produce an image of masculinity and how fans internalize this image. Niharika Banerjea examines how Calcutta non-profits paradoxically reproduce highly stereotyped images of women that undermine their own goals.
