SUMMARY:Identities and Inequalities:  GLBT Scientists, Research, and Making of Political Movement
DESCRIPTION:
 In her talk on "Identities and Inequalities: 
  GLBT Scientists, Scientific Research, and 
 the Making of Political Movements," within 
 Women and Minorities Lecture Series, Dr. 
 Nancy Mezey (Monmouth U) will examine the historical 
 formation of lesbian, gay, transgender, 
 and bisexual (LGBT) identities. She will 
 look at past scientists who we now understand 
 as LGBT, as well as current scientists who claim 
 such identities. Dr. Mezey will provide 
 a brief overview of both the natural and social 
 science research on LGBT people, and examine 
 the connection between gender/sexual categories 
 and social inequalities. Drawing on such 
 inequalities, Dr. Mezey will focus specifically 
 on inequalities in Michigan law regarding 
 marriage equality (aka "gay marriage"), 
 and suggest how scientific research both 
 helps and hinders the LGBT movement and paths 
 to equality.  She will end the talk with 
 a quick overview of current career options for 
 LGBT scientists within the natural sciences.\n\n
