      <title><![CDATA[Prison abolition and trans politics A conversation with Dean Spade and Eric Stan]]></title>

      <description><![CDATA[Free and open to the public
 
Join trans activist and Professor of Law at Seattle University, Dean Spade and History of Consciousness graduate student, Eric Stanley, in celebration of their recently released books: Normal Life: Administrative Violence, Critical Trans Politics and the Limits of Law (South End Press) and Captive Genders: Trans Embodiment and the Prison Industrial Complex (AK Press). 

Normal Life: Administrative Violence, Critical Trans Politics and the Limits of Law raises revelatory critiques of the current strategies pivoting solely on a legal rights framework, but also points to examples of an organized grassroots trans movement that is demanding the most essential of legal reforms in addition to making more comprehensive interventions into dangerous systems of repression—and the administrative violence that ultimately determines our life chances. Setting forth a politic that goes beyond the quest for mere legal inclusion, Normal Life is an urgent call for justice and trans liberation, and the radical transformations it will require. 

Captive Genders: Trans Embodiment and the Prison Industrial Complex
Pathologized, terrorized, and confined, trans/gender non-conforming and queer folks have always struggled against the enormity of the prison industrial complex. The first collection of its kind, Eric A. Stanley and Nat Smith bring together current and former prisoners, activists, and academics to offer new ways for understanding how race, gender, ability, and sexuality are lived under the crushing weight of captivity. Through a politic of gender self-determination, this collection argues that trans/queer liberation and prison abolition must be grown together. From rioting against police violence and critiquing hate crimes legislation to prisoners demanding access to HIV medications, and far beyond, Captive Genders is a challenge for us all to join the struggle.

Sponsored by Feminist Studies, College 9, College 10, History of Consciousness and the Oakes Provost.  ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Time and again, I'm asked to sing my Love Songs. It being the Season of Love, what better time to trot out the ol' love songs, offer up the new ones, and pull a few from the American Songbook. So, let's get together in February to honor the loves of our lives, and the music that moves us, heals us, speaks to our relationships and our losses…Cris Williamson

With 30-some recordings to her credit, Cris Williamson is best known for her classic album, The Changer And The Changed. Released in 1975 on Olivia Records, this music became the soundtrack of a movement, and was key in the launch of what would become known as ]]></description>
