She is a feminist writer and independent scholar. She w orks at the intersection of feminist\, queer and race studies. Her researc h is concerned with how bodies and worlds take shape\; and how power is se cured and challenged in everyday life worlds as well as institutional cult ures.\n\n“This lecture explores complaint as non-reproductive labour\, as the work you have to do not to reproduce an inheritance. The lecture explo res the gap between how complaints are represented by organisations (often through flow charts\, as being clear\, linear and progressive) and how th ey are experienced by those who make complaints (as being messy and circul ar). Those who make complaints often know about organisations given what c omplaints do not bring about. The lecture considers stories of how complai nt “come out” as queer stories\, reflects on filing cabinets as institutio nal closets and explores institutional and queer uses of doors. The lectur e reflects on complaints in relation to queer use\, as the political work of opening up spaces to enable them to be used by those for whom they were not intended.”\n DTSTART:20191004T220000Z DTEND:20191004T233000Z LOCATION:Room 522\, McIntyre Medical Building\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3G 1Y 6\, 3655 promenade Sir William Osler SUMMARY:'Complaint as a Queer Method\,' a Lecture by Sara Ahmed at ϲ URL:/igsf/channels/event/complaint-queer-method-lectur e-sara-ahmed-mcgill-300226 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
