Join us for an informative and engaging lecture by Michael
Roberson, an adjunct professor at The New School University and
Union Theological Seminary in New York City as well as a public
health practitioner, advocate, activist, artist, curator and leader
within the LGBTQ community. His lecture will explore the history of
the House | Ballroom community as a Black Trans-Womanist
theological discourse, a freedom movement, and its spiritual
formation responses to race, class, sexuality, and gender
oppression. It will further examine the community's ability to use the
art of performance as a hermeneutics of the body and situate its
history in mobilizing as a resistance to these oppressions and place
it in conversation with other historical struggles.
