That last talk in the series will be Emily Hobson of the University of Nevada, Reno, who will present “A More Powerful Weapon: Lesbian Feminists and the Revolutionary Underground.”

With joint academic appointments in the departments of history and gender, race, and identity studies, she teaches courses in the history of sexuality, LGBT history, social movements, multiracial and transnational feminisms, U.S.-Latin America borderlands, and gender, queer, and critical ethnic studies.
