Wow! This is a real honor for me. Yoruba Richen, the award-winning director of the film The New Black thought enough of my essay "Love in Action" to recommend it as a supplement to her TED
talk on Civil Rights/LGBT rights. The other listed works are nothing
short of seminal. It means a lot to me that she would suggest that my
work on violence and LGBT communities should be considered in this

The Ohio State University English Department maintains a Tumblr blog. This week, they are placing a spotlight on Queer Studies. The feature includes a video interview with me about the essay in which I draw parallels between lynching and anti-LGBT violence. I'm so grateful that the site's managers wanted to highlight this research and that they followed through and made it happen. They did a great job with the interview!
Please let us know what you think.

On Friday, October 18, 2013, I was very pleasantly surprised to see my essay "Love in Action: Noting Similarities between Lynching Then and Anti-LGBT Violence Now" listed in Feministing's Daily Feminist Cheat Sheet.
They call the essay "long, but totally worth the read." I'll take that any day!!
Their listing here.
(I described the essay on this blog here.)
