Crossings
Creative Ecologies of Cruising
A creative dialogue between a queer artist and a queer academic reminiscing about and thinking with their cruising experiences, Crossing takes queer sex practices seriously as ways of knowing and world-making. The result is an erotic hybrid form hovering between scholarship and avant-garde experimentation, between critical manifesto and sex memoir.
Contested Curriculum
LGBTQ History Goes to School

My Race Is My Gender
Portraits of Nonbinary People of Color
My Race is My Gender is the first anthology by nonbinary writers of color to include photography and visual portraits, centering their everyday experiences of negotiating intersectional identities. Bringing together Black, Indigenous, Latine, and Asian perspectives, its six contributors share their personal stories of working for racial justice and the recognition of queer gender identities.
Criminalized Lives
HIV and Legal Violence
Criminalized Lives profiles people charged in Canada with the crime of not disclosing their HIV-positive status to sex partners. Examining how criminalization disproportionately punishes poor, Black and Indigenous people, gay men, and women in Canada, Alexander McClelland investigates the consequences of criminalizing illness, which results in people being subjected to state violence rather than treated with care.
