Liberal Arts at Alabama

I guess this is what passes for "liberal" arts these days at the University of Alabama.

Dr. Jennifer Purvis of the Department of Women's Studies is hosting a Queer Movie Series this spring 2005 semester. Her class, WS 440/EN 444, "Feminism and Queer Theory," is viewing several films related to the subject matter of the course. These films are being screened in 207 Manly Hall. Interested members of the broader Women’s Studies and Queer community are welcome to attend these free screenings.

The schedule is as follows:

March 3, 2005 - 7:30 But I'm a Cheerleader
March 16, 2005 - 7:30 The Brandon Teena Story
April 13, 2005 - 7:30 You Don't Know Dick and XXXY
April 27, 2005 - 7:30 Ma Vie en Rose

The "free" (i.e. paid for with your tax dollars) film series is also advertised in the UA faculty/staff newsletter here.
