SUMMARY:Sara Moslener - 'After Purity'
DESCRIPTION:Sara Moslener – ‘After Purity’ \nSara Moslener will discuss After Purity: Race\, Sex\, and Religion in White Christian America. A Q&A and signing will follow the discussion. \nAt the Co-op. \nRSVP HERE — please note your RSVP is requested but not required. \nAbout the book: In After Purity\, purity scholar Sara Moslener conducts a nuanced investigation of purity culture in white evangelical Christianity\, revealing its profound impact on gender\, sexuality\, race\, and national identity in the United States. Moslener shares exclusive stories of participants from her research on the After Purity Project to discuss how purity culture affected women—and particularly women of color—who grew up in the evangelical church. These stories depict how white supremacy has a hand in constructing idealized “traditional” or “biblical” views of family\, white racial identity\, sexuality\, gender expression\, and religion\, and how our physical bodies are situated within systems of power and oppression. After Purity provides a window into the world of white evangelicalism and how its leaders and political allies have manufactured socio-sexual panic to justify the elimination of sexual and religious diversity that thrive in a flourishing democracy. \nAbout the author: Sara Moslener is a lecturer in the Department of Philosophy\, Anthropology\, and Religion at Central Michigan University. She is the author of Virgin Nation: Sexual Purity and American Adolescence and creator of the podcast Pure White: Sexual Purity and White Supremacy. She lives in Mt. Pleasant\, Michigan\, with her best friend and soulmate\, Gibson the Chug.

SUMMARY:Out Here
DESCRIPTION:Out Here \nLife happens outside of your comfort zone. Out Here is a world-premiere musical\, a thrilling collaboration between Court Theatre and the University of Chicago\, and an intimate look at a family reconfiguring itself and rediscovering joy. \nDawn has a house\, a husband\, and a family\, but she wants more. She wants her ex-girlfriend\, Robin. She wants nothing to change and she wants everything to change\, and she wants it all on her own terms. As she’s caught between what’s been and what’s next\, Dawn must learn to abandon expectations\, harmonize with loved ones\, and trust the process. If she can do all that\, she might just learn a new song. Strikingly original and unabashedly queer\, Out Here explores the freedom of relinquishing control\, and how\, sometimes\, you have to break something apart to create something better. \nAcclaimed director Chay Yew makes his Court directorial debut with this charming and bold coming-of-age story\, bringing the 2025/26 season to a jubilant conclusion. \nAccessible Performances: \n\nTouch Tour: Saturday\, May 2 at 12:30pm\nAudio Description and ASL Interpretation: Saturday\, May 2 at 2:00pm\nOpen Captioning: Sunday\, May 3 at 2:00pm
