SUNY Cortland Professor of Anthropology Tiantian Zheng will speak on "Male Clients in China's Sex Industry" on Monday, Sept. 12, at 4:10 p.m., in the Red Pit (Kirner-Johnson 127).
Zheng is the author of the ethnographic monograph Red Lights, which discusses the ways in which the state, rural migrant hostesses, and male clients are mutually constructed, and the relationships between the postsocialist state and the sex industry. The lecture is free and open to the public.
Zheng's current research "explores the political, economic, and cultural factors that contextualize homosexual men’s sexual behaviors in the context of international lesbian and gay movement and postsocialist China’s economic and political liberalization."
This lecture is sponsored by the Anthropology Department with funding from the Dean of Faculty. For more information, contact Professor Haeng-ja Chung, hschung@hamilton.edu or 315-859-4933.
