Tuesday
4:30PM ~ The Mathematician as Creative Artist: Turing, Hardy, Ramanujan, Dana Auditorium
David Leavitt (University of Florida, Dept. of English) is an internationally acclaimed author whose novel The Indian Clerk was a finalist for the PEN/Faulkner Prize. In his lecture on Turing, Hardy, and Ramanujan, he will be addressing the connections between Turing's sense of himself as an outsider (a function of his sexuality) and the originality of his thinking and discuss how his later writings on artificial intelligence encode a plea for equality and liberation.

Thursday
7:00PM ~ Screening - Beautiful Thing, Bi Hall 104
Beautiful Thing is a kind of enchanted, urban slice-of-life tale about a gay teen, Jamie (Glen Berry), who is in love with the boy next door, Ste (Scott Neal). Hampering Jamie's progress on the romantic front is his fear that his mother (Linda Henry) will find out, as well as concern over complicating Ste's existing problems. While both were vaguely aware they might be gay, neither had ever acted on their impulses. Once they decide that they're attracted to each other, neither is sure just what to do.

9:00PM ~ Thursday Tea, Queer Studies House (behind Proctor, next to Chellis House)
Come relax over a cup of tea. Bring your own mug!
