Alison speaking at Dartmouth

September 28th, 2004

Alert DTWOF fans and event organizers might have noticed that Alison has recently curtailed her public speaking schedule. She’s curtailed pretty much everything, in fact, as she’s working on a graphic novel. She will, however, be driving to Dartmouth College in Hanover, NH to give a talk on Monday, October 11th, in honor of National Coming Out Day. The talk’s called, “Can I Stop Coming Out Now? Or, If ‘Queer Eye for the Straight Guy’ is organizing closets on television, is there, properly said, anything left to come out of?”

Alison will show slides of her work and talk about identity, assimilation, liberation, propaganda, what kinds of pens she uses, the origins of totalitarianism, the sorry state of democracy, and coming out, among other things and not necessarily in that order.

Start time is 4pm. Carpenter Hall, Room 13.
