VIRTUAL: "Gender-Neutral" Public Policies and Their Gendered Consequences in China
The progress of gender equality in China has attracted a lot of attention in the recent decade. As China has gotten richer, many people expected that the gender inequality situation would improve. However, if we compare China with other countries in the world using the Global Gender Gap Index, China ranked in just the 45th percentile in gender equality in 2006, and has continued to regress over the past decade. Eliminating gender inequality benefits China in multiple important ways. Most family and aging policies in China are gender-blind and are often framed as gender-neutral.

VIRTUAL: James Baldwin’s Queer Revolution: A Lecture and Conversation with Kevin Quinn ’01
James Baldwin’s position as one of the most important voices of the Civil Rights movement is uncontested. Indeed, he might be the most eloquent of our prophets, the singular critical eye that saw race relations in the American context for what they were, what they are, and what they will always be. But the range of his corrective lens, as it were, also extends to the unprecedented ways in which he changed the queer landscape. His formidable Giovanni’s Room appeared at a time when few American writers could even reference, let alone write explicitly about, queer desire.
