Documenting Queer Community Histories: Whose History Is It?, Jessica Stern, Nicholas Ray
Documenting Queer Community Histories: Whose History Is It?, Jessica Stern, Nicholas Ray
Center for LGBTQ Studies (CLAGS)
What does it mean to be a member of a lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer (LGBTQ) community? When did LGBTQ community history begin? Where do queer communities differ? How do we broach these questions to document communities' experiences? And significantly, why is it important to document the histories of those who are defined as LGBTQ?
Trans Politics, Social Change, And Justice, Richard M. Juang
Trans Politics, Social Change, And Justice, Richard M. Juang
Center for LGBTQ Studies (CLAGS)
On May 6 and 7, 2005, Trans Politics, Social Change, and Justice brought over four hundred trans people and allies into a single building. A feeling of electricity was everywhere. Not because this was the first trans conference — it was not. Nor was it the largest. What participants felt came from the fact that the real lives of trans people were being addressed by trans people. For a time, the ground had shifted; the complex webs of institutions and politics that surround the lives of people everywhere were being addressed primarily from the perspective of transgender peoples and their …

Loss In The Lives Of Teens, Joseph A. Santiago
Loss In The Lives Of Teens, Joseph A. Santiago
Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Queer Center
Loss in the Lives of Teens was presented at the Annual LGBTIQQ Symposium in 2005. It covers how students in their teens grieve and best practices in supporting them with their loss as faculty and staff.
Loss in the Lives of Teens; Joseph A Santiago; Joe Santiago; Annual LGBTIQQ Symposium 2005; •“Grief is a fact of life. We may push it away, but if we are engaged in life, it is with us.” •The course of grief, while intensely individual, is in some ways predictable. For this reason, grief counselors have learned a great deal which can help the bereaved. …
Bofes E Sapinhas: Lesbian Life In Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, Ronny R. Kraft
Bofes E Sapinhas: Lesbian Life In Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, Ronny R. Kraft
Independent Study Project (ISP) Collection
For three weeks I studied lesbian women in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil through formal interview, informal interview and observation. I wanted to find out how lesbians interact with a machismo society that treats homosexuality as taboo and women as lesser. I discovered that lesbian women, in Salvador, mainly fall into two categories. The first category describes women that are masculine in nature and therefore are obviously homosexual to the public. The second category of lesbians is less distinguishable by their outward appearance and thus blends in with mainstream society. Through observation and interview I discovered that there is a higher amount …

Center for LGBTQ Studies (CLAGS)

Report From The National Lgbtq Students Of Color Summit, Shawn(Ta) Smith-Cruz
Report From The National Lgbtq Students Of Color Summit, Shawn(Ta) Smith-Cruz
Center for LGBTQ Studies (CLAGS)
I've always imagined finding a space where gender is not assumed, where women are undeniably and understandably attracted to each other, and where men embrace without fear. I found this space at the National Summit for LGBTQ Students of Color on the day of my 22nd birthday, January 15th, 2005. Over two nights and three days, the United States Student Association hosted a national summit filled with grassroots organizing workshops, "how-tos" for your campus, methods on how to challenge homophobia from other student groups while still building alliances, and late night dialogues on art and freedom of expression.

Center for LGBTQ Studies (CLAGS)
We find ourselves in difficult times: last November, referenda against same-sex marriage passed in 11 states; the war in Iraq continues, unabated; oxymoronic legislators in DC are strategizing to privatize social security; the Democratic Party is reevaluating its support of reproductive rights; the national security state is making it possible for states to verify their inhabitants' records against those of the feds, resulting in many undocumented workers and some trans people losing their drivers licenses; PBS has decided not to distribute a children's show in which a cartoon rabbit talks to the real children of lesbian moms, and even SpongeBob …

Masochism: A Queer Subjectivity?, Amber Musser
Masochism: A Queer Subjectivity?, Amber Musser
Publications and Research
Judith Butler's Gender Trouble elaborates what may be called a queer subjectivity. Characterized by non-essential, performative identity, her theory has been criticized because, according to its critics, it does not give the subject political agency. Liberal theorists, such as Seyla Benhabib, have been particularly concerned with the political effects of this form of subjectivity on already marginalized social groups while other theorists, such as Susan Stryker and Ed Cohen, have articulated concern that the theory does not sufficiently account for embodiment, affect, and identity. This essay brings Deleuze's theory of masochism in dialogue with Butler's theories of subjectivity in an …
