April 20: “When is Sex Legal? Rape, Coercion, Bigamy, Mixed-Race Marriage, Transvestism, and Not Being Straight”

From the raw materials of madness, sexual coercion, racial prejudice, bisexuality, betrayal, and death, Shakespeare’s lost play The History of Cardenio creates a magical tragicomic romance. A conversation between Dr. Gary Taylor and Dr. Jennifer Drobac, Professor of Law, Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law. Dr. Drobac is the author of SEXUAL HARASSMENT LAW: History, Cases, and Theory. She has also published more generally on sexual consent, family law, and AIDS law, and is an award–‐winning teacher. She will discuss, from a legal perspective, the issues surrounding sexuality, and particularly the sexuality of young people, raised by the Cardenio story. Dr. Taylor will be approaching the same issues from the perspective of literary history and men’s studies.

This lecture will lead a performance of the play.

When: Tuesday April 20, 5:30 pm
Where: IUPUI Campus  Center Theatre 420 University Blvd.

Free and open to the public
