As part of the Committee’s expanding online presence, we are encouraging participants in panels and conferences on LGBTQ history to prepare and share online short reports for those unable to attend. You’ll be able to find these reports in the Resources menu above, on the Conference Reports page.

Today, I’ve posted the first fruits of these efforts:

• Wesley Chenault and Ian Lekus on the plenary session “Reclaiming Our Stories: A Conversation With Organizers of LGBT Community-Based Oral History Projects” at last October’s Oral History Association meeting,
• Lucinda Grinnell on “Lesbian and Feminist Activisms in the Americas” from the AHA, and
• Leila J. Rupp on “Comparative and Transnational Perspectives on the History of Gay and Lesbian Organizing,” also from the AHA.

Many thanks to these contributors! I encourage you to have a look at their reports and continue the conversation in the comments.

If you’re participating in a panel or conference on LGTBQ history, please consider reporting on it. Contact me or Ian with any questions.
