Lesbian History Salon: Sharing Our Stories

Join us during Women’s History Month for a conversation on how LGBTQ+ history is saved, shared, and made relevant for current & future generations.

How do we keep queer stories alive? Why is important to do so? What do we lose if evidence of queer history - the existence and lives of queer people in the past - is lost? Our speakers, Dr. Tatsiana Shchurko, Dr. S.L. Crawley, Dr. David Johnson, and special guest Edie Daly will reflect on these questions, and some of the ways that queer history can be made visible.

As part of this event, self-described “Old Lesbian Feminist,” Edie Daly will discuss her life and activism since coming out in 1974, as well as her USF Special Collections donation of materials related to the Women’s Energy Bank and Womyn’s Words, a Florida-based publication started in 1983, and more.

We invite you to think about how you, no matter your age, can contribute to the preservation and sharing of queer history.
