Join
queer feminist theorist Lynne Huffer as she presents her recent book, Mad for Foucault: Rethinking the
Foundations of Queer Theory, a reappraisal of Michel Foucault as a founding
thinker of queer theory. Combining personal narrative, archival history, and
philosophical argument, Huffer tells a story about historical modes of
exclusion that produced perversions as forms of madness, ultimately calling for
new practices of transformation through a political ethic of eros.
