The annual Miranda Joseph Endowed Lecture (MJEL) honors the scholarly and institution-building work of Miranda Joseph, a former UA GWS Professor whose leadership efforts contributed to the creation of the Institute for LGBT Studies. Her vision to turn the University of Arizona into a hub of critical interdisciplinary scholarship in transnational gender and sexuality studies continues annually with the MJEL by inviting distinguished scholars in this field. This year we are excited to welcome Dr. Micha Cárdenas for a virtual presentation of Poetric Operations: Trans of Color art in Digital Media.
