Non-Profit Blues: Building Movements Within Neoliberalism
Opening Plenary at Queer Dreams and Nonprofit Blues Conference featuring Urvashi Vaid (Columbia Law School); Dean Spade (Seattle University School of Law and Columbia Law School); Andrea Smith (Co-founder INCITE! Women of Color Against Violence, Associate Professor of Media and Cultural Studies, University of California, Riverside); and N’Tanya Lee (Consultant, Organizer and coordinating committee member of LeftRoots). With opening remarks by moderator Katherine Franke (Columbia Law School).
Activists and organizers in many social movements have had to confront the ways that operating through nonprofit structures affects our organizations and, consequently, our political action and demands. How has LGBT resistance been affected by the changing nature of the state under neoliberal economic and political regimes? How has nonprofitization impacted LGBT work over the last few decades?
Recorded at Queer Dreams and Nonprofit Blues: Dilemmas of the Nonprofit Tradition in LGBT Politics, sponsored by the Engaging Tradition Project at the Center for Gender and Sexuality Law at Columbia Law School and the Barnard Center for Research on Women, held at Columbia Law School.
