8. Gender, Ethnicity, and Sexuality: Daughters of the Motherland Speak, Wednesday, April 14, Wang Center, Lec. Hall 2 - 9:00-6:00
This conference addresses the disparities in the education about and values surrounding women's and men's sexuality. In particular, it will address the differences for women who grow up here in the US.
Despite the fact that they, too, derive from the very same culture which still practices a sexual double standard, they have (sometimes) managed to re-negotiate that cultural heritage. How have, for example, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, South Asian women negotiated and re-conceptualized their sexuality within U.S. culture? How have women from Muslim countries negotiated and re-conceptualized their sexuality here? What are the cultural varieties and similarities in subverting patriarchal inequalities?

23. The Repetition Of Past Imperialisms: Hegel, Historical Difference And The Theorization Of Indic Religious Phenomena
Tuesday, April 20, 2004, 3:30 P.M., Charles B. Wang Center, Lecture hall 1
Why is it that despite the recent proliferation of post-colonial critiques of Indology, disciplines such as the history of religions and area studies continue to reconstitute past imperialisms such as the hegemony of theory as specifically Western and/or the division of intellectual labor between universal and particular knowledge formations? Arvind Pal-Singh Mandair, Hofstra University answers this question by engaging seemingly divergent discourses: (i) the philosophy of religion (ii) the history of South Asian religions (iii) post-colonial theory. Reception follows.
