Interactive Scholarly Dialogues series continues
February 2, 2010
On Monday, February 8, Penn State Law Review will host the next event in its "Scholarly Dialogues" series, which provides students with the opportunity to engage with professors concerning recent scholarship.
This dialogue will feature Zachary Kramer, assistant professor of law, as he presents his work, "Heterosexuality and Military Service." Professor Kramer's work makes two distinct contributions to scholarly literature. First, it provides a new way of approaching the issue of gay military service. To date, the issue of gay service has been debated primarily in terms of whether the presence of openly gay service members would hinder military effectiveness. Kramer's paper breaks from this trend by steering the conversation away from sexual orientation—and, in particular, homosexuality—and refocusing it on sexual conduct. Secondly, it makes a stand-alone contribution to the growing field of what scholars are calling “critical heterosexual studies” (CHS). Stephanie Savino, comments editor of the Penn State Law Review, will discuss Kramer's article. A question and answer period will follow.
Everyone is cordially invited to attend this event, which will be held from 1:15 to 2:15 p.m. in room 112 (University Park) and simulcast to room 112 (Carlisle). Light refreshments will be provided.
Established in 1897, Penn State Law Review is entirely student-run. Published four times annually, it serves as a vehicle for publication of scholarly articles and comments covering all aspects of law, as well as promoting scholarship by enhancing the engagement of its membership with the academic community.
This event is supported by funds from the Speakers Trust Fund of the Student Bar Association.
