On September 20 and 21, 2002, Seattle University School of Law will host a conference entitled Assimilation & Resistance: Emerging Issues in Law & Sexuality. The conference is aimed at exploring the tangled intersections between law and sexuality in the current political economy. Specifically, the conference seeks to examine the dynamic relationships between strategies of assimilation and those of resistance. Presentations and panel discussions will explore these issues from activist, scholarly, and teaching perspectives, endeavoring to address the further complexities that arise when taking full account of the complex ways that sexuality intersects with race, gender, and class.
