Maja Horn, assistant professor of Spanish and Latin American Cultures at Barnard College, questions whether looking at gay cultures in other countries through the lens of U.S. identity politics misses some of its vibrancy and strength. She will be joined by Jacqueline Jiménez Polanco, an activist and attorney who is a consultant & teacher at the Northern Manhattan Coalition for Immigrant Rights (NMCIR) and Associate Researcher Abroad at the Latin American Social Sciences Faculty (FLACSO) in the Dominican Republic. She is the editor and a contributor to the book Divagaciones bajo la Luna/Musing under the Moon: Voces e Imágenes de Lesbianas Dominicanas/Voices and Images of Dominican Lesbians (FLACSO, 2006).
