Details

In the Queering the Conversation series, we invite guest scholars and community activists from a variety of disciplines to join us to share their expertise on specific topics related to the LGBTQ community.

Synopsis: LGBTQ+ representation has had a long and complicated past in film and television. From queerbaiting and queercoding to the Hays Code and horror, we'll trace this history from the 1930s to the 2020s. In the present day, we'll take a look at the continued effects of these practices on generations of queer folks. We'll discuss the media that shaped our experiences, identities, and journeys, and what we wish we'd had. Audiences will come away with a better understanding of the history and importance of queer representation.
