ACADEMIC: "Claiming Our Past: the Challenge of Writing Queer Biography" What is the role of biography—writing (and revealing) the lives of queer folk—in establishing a queer community? Creating a history of queer lives through the genre of biography is a significant element in defining a queer continuum and shaping our own identities. But what are the responsibilities and dilemmas faced by the queer biographer? This panel discussion will generate dialogue about queer biography and questions of methodology, ethics, identity, and sexual politics. Presenter: Nancy Ann Arnold is a PhD candidate in History of Art and Architecture and a Doctoral Emphasis Student in the Women’s Studies Program at UCSB. Currently, she is doing research for her dissertation concerning two lesbian art collectors titled Gathering Women: the Patronage and Partnership of Margaret Mallory and Ala Story. Room: Ucen Lobero |
