Dédé Oetomo, Founder and Trustee of GAYa NUSANTARA, Indonesia's 30-year-old gay rights organization, will be on campus Sept. 22 - 24 as a King-Chavez-Parks Visiting Professor. This public lecture during his visit will chronicle organizing based on gender identity since the late 1960s and on sexual orientation since the early 1980s in Indonesia. We shall look into how emancipatory community development and the HIV program were the initial impetus to organizing, and how after the change of governments in 1998 the increasingly conducive conditions for democratization and human rights have facilitated the growth of a movement diversifying into film and arts, feminism, health and human rights. Special consideration will be given to knowledge production and alliance building as strategies for strengthening the movement. A reception will follow.
