SUMMARY:Unsafe: The Carceral Roots of the Anti-Trans Backlash
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for an exciting public talk and workshop with Sarah Lamble\, Professor of Criminology and Queer Theory (Birkbeck College\, UCL) as they launch their book\, Unsafe: The Carceral Roots of the Anti-Trans Backlash\, newly published (currently 20% off) with Haymarket Books. \n\n\n\nSaturday 12 September3-5:30pmParlour RoomCarleton Dominion Chalmers Centre290 Lisgar Street\, Ottawa \n\n\n\nRegister through the link below! \n\n\n\nABOUT THE BOOKThe twenty-first century “gender wars” have been driven by a powerful and seductive narrative: that safety can be secured through exclusion\, surveillance\, and the policing of difference. These punitive logics have gained momentum across the political spectrum\, fueling an anti-trans backlash and distorting the meaning of safety itself. \n\n\n\nUnsafe is a clear-eyed and decisive challenge to the toxic ideas at the heart of this backlash. With patient rigour\, Lamble exposes how carceral approaches to safety fail to address root causes of harm\, ultimately deepening social divisions and legitimising new forms of violence and control. \n\n\n\nABOUT THE AUTHORLamble is a community organizer and Professor of Criminology and Queer Theory at Birkbeck\, University of London. Their work explores questions of gender\, sexuality\, and justice with a focus on feminist and abolitionist alternatives to prisons\, police\, and punishment. They are based in London. \n\n\n\nABOUT THE EVENT/ACCESSIBILITYThis event will also feature responses by local activists and intellectuals. Following the presentations there will be a Q&A\, followed by a light vegetarian meal with gluten free options. The event will be held in the Parlour Room of Dominion-Chalmers\, which is accessible by an elevator. Ramp access to the entrance of the building is available off the parking lot on Lisgar. Automated real-time captioning will be provided. \n\n\n\nSPONSORSThis event is hosted by the Department of Law and Legal Studies (Carleton University) and co-sponsored by the Institute of Feminist and Gender Studies (University of Ottawa)\, the Feminist Institute of Social Transformation (Carleton)\, the Institute of Criminology and Criminal Justice (Carleton)\, the Ottawa Trans Library\, the Criminalization and Punishment Education Project (CPEP)\, and Octopus Books.

SUMMARY:Munro Beattie Lecture with Ivan Coyote
DESCRIPTION:The Office of the Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences and the Department of English Language and Literature invite you to join us for the 2025-2026 Munro Beattie Lecture\, “And Then This One Time: Sweet Stories for Hard Times”. Because sometimes we all just need a good crylaugh. Join writer and storyteller Ivan Coyote for a round of storytelling to call upon the joy in our queer lives and celebrate the strength and bravery it takes to live real life as a trans person right now. Bring your best hankie. \n\n\n\nIt will take place at 7pm on October 15 at the Carleton Dominion-Chalmers Centre. No registration is required. \n\n\n\nIvan Coyote is a writer and storyteller. Born and raised in Whitehorse\, Yukon\, they are the author of thirteen books\, the creator of four films\, six stage shows\, and three albums that combine storytelling with music. Coyote’s books have won the ReLit Award\, been named a Stonewall Honour Book\, been longlisted for Canada Reads\, and been shortlisted for the Hilary Weston Prize for non-fiction and the Governor General’s award for non-fiction twice. In 2017 Ivan was given an honorary Doctor of Laws from Simon Fraser University\, and in 2023 they received the first Honorary Doctor of Arts ever bestowed on anyone by Yukon University. They have toured public schools solo around the world for 20 years now\, using the power of a personal story to fight bullying and make schools safer for students\, staff and parents. Ivan has spent more than 30 years on the road as an international touring storyteller and musician. Coyote’s stories grapple with the complex and intensely personal topics of gender identity\, family\, class\, and queer liberation\, but always with a generous heart\, and a quick wit. Ivan’s stories manage to handle both the hilarious and the heartbreaking with reverence and compassion\, and remind us all of our own fallible and imperfect humanity\, while at the same time inspiring us to change the world. Ivan’s 13th book\, Care Of\, was released in June 2021 by McClelland and Stewart.
