\"Flyer<\/a>Dr. Howard Chiang of the University of California at Santa Barbara, the Lai Ho & Wu Cho-Liu Endowed Chair in Taiwan Studies and Professor of East Asian Languages and Cultural Studies, will deliver his talk on Thursday, March 6th at CWRU. This talk uses the concept of \u201ctranstopia\u201d in order to develop a new model of transness. Through three historical examples from the Sinophone Pacific\u2014eunuchs, renyao, and adju \u2014 it challenges the assumption that gender nonconforming figures did not exist historically and the idea that the Western category of transgender delivers the best framework for understanding their experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut where did York sleep?\u201d\u2014this question posed by Professor Pillow\u2019s then 12-year-old son while touring the Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center cuts to the heart of colonial absences in American history and present-day memory. Although a detailed life-size recreation of the Corps of Discovery Cape Washington Winter Camp portrayed camp life and showed where all members of the Expedition slept, including William Clark\u2019s dog, York was not mentioned. There was no sleeping space identified for York, Clark\u2019s slave. This lack continues to erase York\u2019s presence as a slave from the Expedition, except when needed to make a point about the generosity of Clark and the freedom York surely experienced on the trail. In her talk, Pillow, chair and professor of Gender Studies at the University of Utah, explores York\u2019s absences and presences through three primary themes of the expedition: voting, sex, and sleeping arrangements. This analysis provides a re-reading of the Expedition with gender, slavery, and conquest as central to any present-day retelling and re-understanding of the Expedition.<\/p>\n

Dr. Pillow is a 2022 Hildegarde and Elbert Baker Visiting Scholar in the Humanities.<\/p>\n

Increasing COVID-19 cases within Northeast Ohio have prompted Case Western Reserve to resume its requirement that masks be worn indoors. In addition, only those who are fully vaccinated (two weeks past their final dose) should attend any campus event. Leaders continue to monitor pandemic developments and may need to adjust health protocols further as circumstances warrant. In-person is subject to change based on COVID-19 guidelines.<\/em><\/p>\n
