(Trans)Cribing History: The Oral Histories Of Transgender Clergy In America, Jae Bates Jan 2016

(Trans)Cribing History: The Oral Histories Of Transgender Clergy In America, Jae Bates

Summer Research

Popular American rhetoric around religion and LGBTQ issues puts the two at odds. The Bible has been the center of many debates over sexuality, gender identity, and faith. However, very few conversations have included or revolved around the authentic experiences of LGBTQ people of faith. Nine participants from various Protestant backgrounds shared their narratives with me and spoke on issues of gender and faith. This report is an in-depth summary of a short oral history project of transgender clergy (as well as candidates for ordination or exemplary church members).

Family Affairs Newsletter 2016-01-01, Zack Paakkonen

Family Affairs newsletter (2004-2016)

FAMILY AFFAIRS was a free, twice-a-month, social activities newsletter for the GLBTQI (gay/lesbian/bisexual/trans/queer/intersex) community, sent out around the 1st and 15th of each month.

Who Feels Included At Work? : Intersectionality And Perceptions Of Diversity And Inclusion In The Workplace, Courtney J. Dallaird Jan 2016

Who Feels Included At Work? : Intersectionality And Perceptions Of Diversity And Inclusion In The Workplace, Courtney J. Dallaird

Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)

There is a difference between diversity and inclusion in the workforce. More specifically, there is a difference in the understanding and experience that the U.S. cultural meaning of these words creates when interpreted and applied in a workplace setting. Understanding this difference is essential to the work businesses do in actualizing human capital as well as in creating and interpreting methods of providing access, recognizing diversity, and now, increasingly, moving towards a rhetoric of inclusion in the workplace (Roberson, 2006).

Gema Pérez-Sánchez

Working with the theoretical notions of “homonationalism” (Puar 2013) and
“pinkwashing” (Schulman 2011, 2012, Spade 2013) and using as a case study
two photographic series by contemporary Spanish gay photographer David
Trullo, I illuminate the complex situation in which contemporary queer Spanish
visual artists must produce their work: they resist homonationalism and homonormativity
at the same time that they must work within the very frames of
homonationalism and homonormativity to fund, produce, and disseminate their
particularly subversive queer politics. In analyzing Trullo’s series, Alterhistory:
Una historia verdadera (2010) — a gay and lesbian, homonormative rewriting
of late nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century …
