If you’re going to San Francisco, be sure to wear some flowers in your hair…

Beginning this Sunday, the Committee on LGBT History, San Francisco State University, and the GLBT Historical Society host their second queer history conference, QHC 2022. From June 12-15, historians, K12 educators, and activists come together to share, discuss, and showcase the newest directions and developments in the histories of same-gender sexuality, trans identity, and gender-nonconformity.

We are delighted to announce that 3 of the Collaboratory’s team members will be presenting papers at this year’s conference.

Director Elspeth Brown and Research Manager Alisha Stranges are co-presenting “Pussy Palace Oral History Project: Sensory Portraits of Public Sex,” featuring the Pussy Palace Oral History Project sense memory portraits.

Oral Historian Elio Colavito is presenting their research in “Rupert Raj has Resources: Trans-Masculine Mutual Aid in North America, 1972-1990,” which follows Canadian trans activist Rupert Raj’s mutual aid organizing.
