This unique program runs from June 29-July 24, 1998 and is designed for those interested in an interdisciplinary study of gender, sexual practice, and sexual identity in past and present cultures. Two academic courses will be offered ("Lesbian and Gay Politics", taught by Luz Calvo, and "Lesbian, Gay and Queer Film and Video", taught by Dr. Harry Benshoff) worth a total of ten quarter units of credit transferable to any accredited college or university. We will also have extensive co-curricular programs, including: weekly workshops; discussion sessions with local and national Queer scholars, writers, activists, and politicians; and a three day rafting trip on the American River in the Sierras.
