Professor Rachel Lee, UCLA Department of English and Women's Studies, will speak on Margaret Cho.
This talk will focus on Margaret Cho's one-woman show "I'm the One that I Want." Professor Lee inquires into Cho's construction of her bodily
excesses-her dirty vagina, her collapsed bladder, her inability to be decidable as either gay or straight-and the differing degrees of publicity
that Cho accords to these traces of the body.
Rachel Lee is the author of The Americas of Asian American Literature: Gendered Fictions of Nation and Transnation, which addresses current debates on the relationship among Asian American ethnic identity, national belonging, globalization, and gender. Her essays on location, territory, and critical regionalism in the context of Asian American cultural criticism have appeared in The Women's Review of Books, Cultural Critique, boundary 2, and various anthologies.
Lunch will be served. Reservations are required.
