Resistant Communiqués PodcastOn the new Resistant Communiqués: Dr. Karma R. Chávez, #Professor and President of the #AAUP Chapter at UT Austin, co-founder of UT Austin Faculty and Staff for Justice in Palestine #FSJP, and the co-editor of The #HigherEd Advocate, discusses the beltway #LGBT movements' mainstream #assimilationist politics, and the #radical politics of queerness through the lens of Against Equality.
In the 1990s, LGBT politics became mainstream and decidedly centrist, in a way fundamentally different from #queer politics. What are the actual #politics of #queerness? It’s an ability to look past the restrictions of #gender and #sexuality, even as it relates to straight, #cisgendered people.
It changes your understanding of what equality really means: Is participation in the #militaryindustrialcomplex actually a good thing? Is marriage, with all of its connections to property and #patriarchy, a good thing? Is expanding the prison industrial complex through #hatecrimes legislation, which disproportionately targets #queer, #trans, and #Black, #Indigenous, and #racially minoritized, people a good thing? These are the questions to ask as we leave Pride.
