I attended a Gender and sexuality presentation over working thesis that each student presented through their research questions. In this presentation I saw a diverse variety of students who I had previously talked to/ and were new to me.  The first student presenting title was “You look Gay: imagining queer body liberation alongside the canon of queer aesthetics”. My initial thought was that I loved the title it was very creative. As they presented, we learned about the queer theories liberations and what they tell us about the queer experiences. She went into further detail about Jose Esteban Munoz whose theory is important because the understanding queerness has a purpose. At first, I was not sure what the presentation was trying to argue however I did understand that the person presenting was focused on the mainstream queer aesthetic of clothing. For the second presentation Grant Hearn who is double majoring in GSS and Economics, had the question “to what degree are incarcerated workers economically exploited, and how does the exploitation of incarcerated workers operate to serve bio/capitalist agenda”.  Grant brought up so many facts that I was not aware of and some that I was. He stated that there are “5 times more black men than white men in prison”, which was something that I was not aware of, a least not the exact percentage. He later brought awareness how although the 13 amendment was put to place, there is still forced labor throughout the prison system. I was not aware to what extent force labor was in the United States and how 16 states use this as a form of criminal punishment.  I really liked how he mention The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander, this book is so essential for people to read because it states many current events of The war on drugs that president Nixon, and Clinton brought into play.
