DESCRIPTION:Moderated by Julio Capó Jr.\, FIU associate professor of history and deputy director of The Wolfsonian Public Humanities Lab. \nPresented in English. \nIn the Caribbean\, LGBTQ individuals live in fear of being ostracized at a minimum and physically assaulted – or even murdered – at worst.

Shani Mootoo’s Polar Vortex is a seductive and tension-filled novel about Priya and Alex\, a lesbian couple  who attempt to escape the secrets of their pasts. Stonewall and Lambda Award-winning author Kacen Callender’s King of the Rising is the searing conclusion to an unflinching and powerful Caribbean-inspired fantasy series about colonialism\, resilience and defiance. \nSponsored by \n \nand in partnership with

SUMMARY:In Conversation: On Confronting Prejudice\, Racism\, and Bigotry
DESCRIPTION:When Özlem Cekic became the first Muslim MP in the Danish Parliament\, her email inbox was hit with a deluge of hate mail and threats\, and her gut reaction was to delete every abusive message.

Eric Martin\, author of Your Leadership Moment: Democratizing Leadership in the Age of Authoritarianism\, joins her to talk about it; coffee is optional.
