New course this fall! 📚🌈

⭐️ Fall 2024 Course: Q***r Archives ⭐️

Thursdays, 2:00pm-4:30pm
AD White 110
Prof. Sara Warner ([email protected])

This course contemplates challenges associated with researching and representing q***r and trans pasts. We approach this topic from several angles: by asking what constitutes “q***r” and “trans” in different historical contexts, when sexuality and gender are by their nature fluid; by training in LGBTQ archival methods; and by engaging with individuals and collectives who make archives central to their praxis. The course will function as a laboratory, with time dedicated each session to exploring different search strategies and repositories, including visits to CU’s Human Sexuality Collection.
