Anticipatory Archives & Ancestral Assemblages: LGBTQ Editors/Publishers of Color
Friday, March 25, 2022
12:10 pm to 1:10 pm
Queer/trans people of color editing/publishing build stronger activist, artistic, and scholarly communities. Editors/publishers will discuss production and maintenance of Indigenous, people of color, womanist, queer/trans, and multicultural journals and solo/coauthored books, anthologies, and presses. Collaboratively producing diverse texts, panelists will discuss navigating economic, logistical, and institutional challenges while centering issues of culture, politics, aesthetics, and diversity.
