Lisa Corrigan is a professor of communication and director of the gender studies program. Her talk will focus on the co-evolution of Playboy magazine and the larger corporate culture in Playboy, Inc. to understand how founder Hugh Hefner used the magazine and the Playboy Foundation to create new progressive subjectivities in the postwar period. Using extensive archival research, the talk charts Playboy's deep investment in gay liberation, civil rights/Black Power activism, and feminism to understand how the organization both argued for and financed a bold new vision of American citizenship.
