Thanks, brian for bringing this event to my attention!
Outwest at The Autry
The Autry Center for the American West was recently profiled in TNG for its queer-inclusiveness. Serendipitously, they have a queer event this weekend as part of a new series on LGBT people in the west, called Outwest.
The first event in the series is titled”What ever happened to Ennis Del Mar?” and will focus on the representation of the LGBT community in the American West before, during, and after the era depicted in the film Brokeback Mountain. They will explore film’s significance in renewing the Western film for contemporary audiences. Moderated by Virginia Scharff, author and professor of history/director of the Center for the Southwest at the University of New Mexico, the panel includes Los Angeles Times and NPR film critic Kenneth Turan; Peter M. Nardi, Ph.D., author and professor of sociology at Pitzer College; and William Handley, associate professor of English at the University of Southern California and editor of The Brokeback Book (forthcoming).
The event is on Sunday, December 13, from 3 to 5 pm at the Autry Museum (4700 Western Heritage Way). Free!!
