Upcoming Talk: Inequality and Policing of LGBT Sexual and Gender Identities Post-DADT

YPSILANTI — An upcoming talk that is part of the Equality Knowledge Project of Eastern Michigan University's Equality Research Center will look at organizational inequality and policing of LGBT sexual and gender identities post-"Don't Ask, Don't Tell."
Ph.D. candidate Courtney Caviness from the University of California-Davis will address military policies pertaining to LGBTQ individuals and the effects of military culture on sexual orientation and gender identity in the larger culture post-DADT.
Caviness, seeking a Ph.D. in sociology, has studied sex and gender, race, sexuality and work and occupations. She has been published in multiple journals including Teaching Gender and Sex in Contemporary America; the Encyclopedia of Gender and Sexuality Studies; and The SAGE Encyclopedia of Psychology and Gender. Her skills have been honored with multiple awards including a variety from UC Davis, Texas State University and the Alpha Kappa Delta Honor Society.
DADT prohibited service members from discriminating against or harassing closeted LGBT service members or applicants while barring openly LGBT people from service. DADT was the official U.S. policy on service by LGBT service members in the military. The program was instituted by the Clinton Administration in February of 1994 and lasted until Sept. 20, 2011.
Caviness will present her material at 5:30 p.m. March 8 in room 310A in the Student Center on EMU's campus. The event is free and open to the public.
