Love American Style: Neoliberal Citizenship in Contemporary Marriage Politics

New Directions in Feminist Studies

Sponsored by USC Center for Feminist Research

Admission: Free

Lisa Duggan, an associate professor of history, American studies, and gender studies at New York University, examines why the concept of marriage – in such seeming decline - appears at the center of ideology and aspiration on the national stage.

Duggan also addresses how race, gender, class and sexuality function in the framing of the issues of coupledom and state benefits.

She is the author of several books (including “The Twilight of Equality: Neoliberalism, Cultural Politics, and the Attack on Democracy”), all of which are available through the USC Pertusati Bookstore.
