In a Moment of Danger: CSN LGBTQ+ History Panel presented by CSN Queer Inclusive Campus Committee A panel of presentations from local scholars on the relevance of LGBTQ+ history and culture to our contemporary political moment. Presentations by Dr. Jennifer Basquiat (Anthropology), Dr. Adam Burgess (English), Dr. Joe Hassert (Communication), and Prof. Patricia Vázquez (English). Historian Walter Benjamin describes the work of history in his essay On the Concept of History: "To articulate what is past does not mean to recognize 'how it really was.' It means to take control of a memory, as it flashes in a moment of danger." What memories would LGBTQ+ people and our allies do well to seize as we work our way through this current moment of danger? This panel will partake in the annual ritual of LBGTQ History month, looking to the past to help guide our future. Panelists will take turns sharing their research and study of LGBTQ history and culture followed by a Question and Answer session in which attendees can engage the discussion
