PhD student Zoë Bastin will facilitate the first reading group discussing Judith Butler’s seminal text <A HREF="https://primo-direct-apac.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/permalink/f/1d27kpc/RMIT_ALMA51159771410001341" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Gender trouble: feminism and the subversion of identity</A>  (just the first chapter) and Gordon Hall’s <A HREF="https://primo-direct-apac.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/permalink/f/aqirjb/TN_tayfranc10.1080/00043249.2013.10792863" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Object Lessons: Thinking Gender Variance through Minimalist Sculpture</A>. We will talk about subject/object ontology, and the ways Hall and Butler bend, queer and deviate traditional ideas of gender.
