Through intensive interviews and historical research, Queer Man on Campus reveals the inadequacy of a unified 'gay' identity in the study of queer college men. Instead, as Dilley shows, seven distinct types of identities and discernible in the lives of non-heterosexual college males between World War II and the close of the millennium. Dilley traces the development of these identities through stories of current and former students, illuminating the historical and contextual factors that affect their formation. By situating these types of 'non-heterosexuality' as variable and fluid. Dilley offers a new perspective on queer collegiate life.
This book examines the life of Virginia Gildersleeve, the dean of
Barnard College from 1911 to 1947, who dedicated her life to
expanding women's collegiate opportunities to match those of men,
and to allow women entry into professional and graduate programs.
Gildersleeve was the first academic to use the media to define for
the American public what higher education--and particularly what
higher education for women--meant. The only woman to sign the
United Nations charter, she made waves by implementing the first
program to allow women into the Navy. This book explores how
Gildersleeve's life exemplifies the expanded and changing
educational opportunities for women during the Progressive Era and
early twentieth century, with the rise of feminists, progressive
reformers, and educational philosophers. Although Gildersleeve is
nearly forgotten, her importance to women's higher education,
women's inclusion in the US military, and world peace is captured
in this blend of historical analysis and life history.
Association for the Study of Higher Education Outstanding Book
Award Winner, 2020This book outlines the beginning of student
organizing around issues of sexual orientation at Midwestern
universities from 1969 to the early 1990s. Collegiate organizations
were vitally important to establishing a public presence as well as
a social consciousness in the last quarter of the twentieth
century. During this time, lesbian and gay students struggled for
recognition on campuses while forging a community that vacillated
between fitting into campus life and deconstructing the sexist and
heterosexist constructs upon which campus life rested. The first
openly gay and lesbian student body presidents in the United States
were elected during this time period, at Midwestern universities;
at the same time, pioneering non-heterosexual students faced
criticism, condemnation, and violence on campus. Drawing upon
interviews, extensive reviews of campus newspapers and yearbooks,
and archival research across the Midwest, Patrick Dilley
demonstrates how the early gay campus groups created and provided
educational and support services on campus-efforts that later
became incorporated into campus services across the nation.
Further, the book shows the transformation of gay identity into a
minority identity on campus, including the effect of alliances with
campus racial minorities.
