Join us on Windgate’s Keystone Steps this Thursday during x-period for a conversation with Dr. Christine Case, Visiting Assistant Professor of English.
How can a fairy tale about a comatose, largely silent, and stereotypically pretty princess signify queer promise? What can queer mean in this context? Dr. Case’s conversation utilizes Perrault’s 1696 short story, Disney’s 1959 animated film, and Disney’s 2014 live-action “Maleficent” as entrance points to key concepts in queer theory and girlhood studies.
Keystone Conversations seek to stimulate, foster, and promote campus interest in the Arts, Communication, Humanities, and Social Sciences fields. We invite you to join our live events at 1:40-2:30 pm at the Keystone Steps in the Windgate Center for Fine and Performing Arts.
