Free to Love: Multicultural Intimacies

Event Description:

Come Join

the EGPS

Manhattan Discussion Group

the Work Group for Racial Equity

for a night of amorous talk.

There has been an evolution in interracial marriage and intimate relationships since the Loving Supreme Court Decision of 1967, and indeed for centuries before that.

We will discuss the historical, interpersonal and intra-psychic factors that have challenged the free and open establishment of interracial partnerships, as well as examine the driving and restraining forces toward the development of multi-cultural couples and families.

Throughout and together, we will explore the complex dynamics -- such as the risk for fetishization -- Implicit to all interracial and multicultural relationships.
