God Is Gay and Other Queer Anomalies
with Judy Grahn, PhD
Part of the MAP Speaker Series.  Co-sponsored by the LGBT and Spiritual & Depth Psychology Specializations

Culling from material in Bruce Bagemihl’s book, Biological Exuberance, as well as material from her own research on cross-gender “offices” in indigenous teachings and ancient Mesopotamian writings (bringing a theme of butches and drag queens into contemporary times,) Dr. Grahn will present on same-sex bonding in nature.

Judy Grahn, PhD is internationally known as a poet, woman-centered cultural theorist, co-founder of radical lesbian movement, and early contributor to literature on women’s spirituality. She is the author of Another Mother Tongue: Gay Words, Gay Worlds, a cultural and spiritual history of “gayness” and is editor of Metaformia: A Journal of Menstruation and Culture (www.metaformia.com). She co-directs the Women’s Spirituality Master’s Program at the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology, and teaches writing and literature in the Writing, Consciousness, and Creative Inquiry Program at the California Institute of Integral Studies.

Light refreshments served.  This event is free and open to the public
