What a great turnout to tonight's Twilight Talk! There were approximately 125 people in the room...many who spilled out onto the aisles and floor. We definitely needed a larger rooom.

I started the talk with introductions of my colleagues: Dr. Sikata Banerjee and Dr. Tai Alfred and then really set up what is the Twilight Zone, and moved to discussing slides of Jacob, his body, and the commodification of the characters, etc.

Sikata moved into a discussion of colonialism, imperial anxiety, and masculinity.

Then, Tai rounded it out with a discussion of indigenity and a reflecting on his thoughts of the first two books/movies.

We fielded wonderful responses from the community--both campus and off campus. The event was a success and we each were approached and asked to do a similar talk. Up next--discussion about Avatar!
