This Thursday! KAREN OCAMB - Gay Big Bucks & Fat Cat Dykes

4:00PM until 6:00PM
In Public Policy Bldg, Rm 2270
For years San Francisco and New York have dominated popular and scholarly thinking about lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender history, culture, and politics in the US. Although Los Angeles has played and continues to play at least as important a role as these cities, it has only recently begun to receive the attention it deserves. The Queer Los Angeles lecture series has been organized to further this important work. Every week this quarter, a different journalist, artist, scholar, or activist will discuss some aspect of history, culture, and politics of "Queer LA." Addressing topics ranging from AIDS to art, from activism to globalization, these distinguished speakers will explore the richness and specificity of lgbt life in Los Angeles.

The first of the QUEER LOS ANGELES lectures...

KAREN OCAMB

"GAY BIG BUCKS & FAT CAT DYKES: How L.A.'s Checkbook Activism Changed the LGBT Movement"

Former Associate Producer at CBS Network News in New York, and an award-winning journalist who has written for the LGBT and mainstream press and helped pioneer multimedia gay news online. Ocamb is also on the Board of the Los Angeles Press Club and is a member of the National Lesbian and Gay Journalist Association.
