Radical Queer Scholar
ABOUT RADICAL QUEER SCHOLAR
Primary themes include, but are not limited to: leftist feminism, feminism, queer theory, all things queer (LBGTTQAI+, QUILTBAG+), polyamory, and more!
Applied fields include: anthropology, sociology, and gender studies!
This started out as an amalgamation and collection of responses and resources used throughout discourse I, and others, had participated in. I originally compiled it so that I could access it anytime I was once again involved in discourse or educating others - I had themed resources on hand for a variety of topics. Since then, it has grown, become more and more refined. I have even created other sorts of document for different groups and communities.
I want to be able to share these resources, I want to be able to educate those who are not in the specific groups I am - but people from all kinds of places. I want to help provide a database of sources and experiences. I will start by uploading my previously compiled 'articles', and then eventually make new ones to place here. I am open to any requests for specific topics or emotional labor - please Contact Me!
Academia
My Bachelor of Arts degree is on hold due to COVID and disabilities. My Bachelor of Arts degree will be with a major in Anthropology (focusing on linguistics and cultural) and a minor in Gender Studies. My program will take me a minimum of six years and my intent is to just learn. That's it - I have no end goal or such! With this, I will be creating and doing a lot of work relevant to fields and areas I already learn from and teach in. Some of my posts will be said works and products of research. Additionally, I want to share access to journals and resources that are otherwise behind various barriers (including paywalls).
