‘Queer’ is not as being about who you're having sex with (that can be a dimension of it); but ‘queer’ as being about the self that is at odds with everything around it and that has to invent and create and find a place to speak and to thrive and to live. ~ bell hooks
All that you touch
You Change.
All that you Change
Changes you.
The only lasting truth
Is Change.
God
Is Change.
EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING
~ Lauren Oya Olanima in Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler
For our third Polymathic Pizza session, Professor Karen Tongson and Dr. Lexi Johnson will interrogate the metamorphoses (movement, creativity, energy, and change-ness) that is queerness. We invite our polymaths to join the conversation to bring their own perspectives of the layers, depths, and colors to the meanings of queerness in our past, present, and future selves.
