What can women who work as professional dominatrices– a seemingly “deviant” occupation on the periphery of society– teach us about ourselves, the things we culturally value, our everyday interactions, and the set of postmodern tensions that structure our lives?

The Paul F. Lazarsfeld Lecture Series at Columbia University cordially invites you to a launch event for Danielle J. Lindemann’s new book, Dominatrix: Gender, Eroticism, and Control in the Dungeon, which was released from the University of Chicago Press this fall.

The author will read a selection from the book, and refreshments will be served.

Questions about this event? Contact Michael Falco (mf2727@columbia.edu) or the author (danielle.lindemann@gmail.com).
