An open dialogue hosted by Eugene Lang College The New School for Liberal Arts (http://www.newschool.edu/lang) on sexuality with bell hooks, Marci Blackman (Author of Tradition), Samuel “Chip” Delany (Director, Creative Writing (Fiction), College of Liberal Arts, Temple University), and M. Lamar (video artist and sculptor).

bell hooks (née Gloria Watkins) is among the leading public intellectuals of her generation. Her writings cover a broad range of topics including gender, race, teaching, and contemporary culture. This fall marks the 20th Anniversary of the publication of Teaching to Transgress: Education as a Practice of Freedom, Dr. hooks’ seminal book on educational practices. This weeklong residency is an opportunity for The New School community to directly engage with Dr. hooks and her commitment to education and learning as a place “where paradise can be created”
