  • Interview Responses from Queer Tomb Raider Fans
    Interview responses from queer Tomb Raider fans Template response form sent to consenting parties: Your name or chosen alias (Anonymous is fine too): Country: Age: How you identify: --- 1) How and when did you come to the fandom? (ie. how long have you been a fan?) 2) Why Lara Croft? What do you like/admire about her? What do you think drew you to her? 3) Can you describe Lara Croft's impact on your sexuality? (If not and/or you don't feel she's been an influence, that's fine too). 4) Do you have a Lara preference - Classic or Reboot? Name: Joshua B. Country: USA Age: 22 How you identify: Cisgender gay man --- 1) How and when did you come to the fandom? (ie. how long have you been a fan?) I've only been a fan for about a year! I got into the series in 2014 with Tomb Raider (2013). I later branched out and explored the classic series by Core Design and disliked them, but I was only really inspired/convinced to return to the Core games when my ex-boyfriend brought up a new viewpoint: people play Tomb Raider for puzzles, not for plot. And so I went back and I was hooked! A year later, here I am as a Tomb Raider fanatic. 2) Why Lara Croft? What do you like/admire about her? What do you think drew you to her? I really admired how 2013 Lara grew into this hardened “cool”-type character while still remaining grounded. I was drawn to her and I still think she’s a lovely woman, but classic Lara is my favourite.

  • Gay Subculture Identification: Training Counselors to Work with Gay Men
    Article 22 Gay Subculture Identification: Training Counselors to Work With Gay Men Justin L. Maki Maki, Justin L., is a counselor education doctoral student at Auburn University. His research interests include counselor preparation and issues related to social justice and advocacy. Abstract Providing counseling services to gay men is considered an ethical practice in professional counseling. With the recent changes in the Defense of Marriage Act and legalization of gay marriage nationwide, it is safe to say that many Americans are more accepting of same-sex relationships than in the past. However, although societal attitudes are shifting towards affirmation of gay rights, division and discrimination, masculinity shaming, and within-group labeling between gay men has become more prevalent. To this point, gay men have been viewed as a homogeneous population, when the reality is that there are a variety of gay subcultures and significant differences between them. Knowledge of these subcultures benefits those in and out-of-group when they are recognized and understood. With an increase in gay men identifying with a subculture within the gay community, counselors need to be cognizant of these subcultures in their efforts to help gay men self-identify. An explanation of various gay male subcultures is provided for counselors, counseling supervisors, and counselor educators. Keywords: gay men, subculture, within-group discrimination, masculinity, labeling Providing professional counseling services and educating counselors-in-training to work with gay men is a fundamental responsibility of the counseling profession (American Counseling Association [ACA], 2014). Although not all gay men utilizing counseling services are seeking services for problems relating to their sexual orientation identification (Liszcz & Yarhouse, 2005), it is important that counselors are educated on the ways in which gay men identify themselves and other gay men within their own community.

  • Windsor's Importance in Vermont's History Prior to the Establishment of the Vermont Constitution
    PROCEEDINGS OF THE VERMONT HISTORICAL SOCIETY FOR THE YEARS 1921, 1922 AND 1923 CAPI TAL C ITY PRESS MONTPE LIER, VT. 192 4 Windsor's Importance in Vermont's History Prior to the Establishment of the Vermont Constitution A PAPER READ BEFORE THE VERMONT HISTORICAL SOCIETY AT WINDSOR IN THE OLD CONSTITUTION HOUSE SEPTEMBER 4, 1822 By Henry Steele Wardner Windsor's Importance in Vermont's History To be invited to address you in this, my native town and still my home, and in this, the most notable of Vermont's historic buildings, gives me real pleasure. That pleasure is the greater because of my belief that through the neglect of some of Vermont's historians as well as through the enter­ prise of others who, like myself, have had their own towns or group of individuals to serve and honor, the place of Windsor in Vermont's written history is not what the town deserves and because your invitation gives me an opportunity to show some forgotten parts of Windsor's claim to historic impor­ tance. Today I shall not describe the three celebrated conven­ tions held in this town in 1777, the first of which gave to the State its name, while the second and third created the State and gave to it its corporate existence and its first constitution; nor shall I touch upon the first session of Vermont's legislature held here in 1778, although upon these several events mainly hangs Windsor's fame as far as printed history is concerned. Nor shall I dwell upon Windsor as the first town of Vermont in culture and social life through the last decade of the eigh­ teenth century and the first quarter of the nineteenth, nor yet upon the extraordinary influence which the early artisans and inventors of this town have had upon industries in various parts of the world.

My use of transcode, a term introduced by the semiotician A.J. Greimas and carried into the digital realm by Lev Manovich, refers to how cultural elements such as assumptions, biases, priorities emerge within programming code and software. It demonstrates how cultural norms persist across different mediums and posits that, in many ways, the capacity to be flexible defines cultural ideologies. At the software level, programming languages work like performative speech: grammar which produces effects. When cast as speech, coming from a body (or bodies) instead of hardware, information structures can be perceived as acting within regimes of corporeality; when cast as software, information structures demonstrate and advertise the capabilities of hardware. Although often aligned with veracity and stability in its proximity to (computer) science, software is not culturally neutral.

Bisconti, Ph.D. Chand Midha, Ph.D. Committee Member Date Varunee Faii Sangganjanavanich, Ph.D. Committee Member Kevin Kaut, Ph.D. ii ABSTRACT Sexuality research in psychology has historiCally taken a pathologizing view of seX. ReCently, a growing body of seX-positive literature has provided a counter-narrative that positions sex as something that is fundamentally good and healthy. However, the perspeCtives and experiences of sexual minority men have been critiCally absent from this disCourse. Grounded in empowerment theory and using a critiCal queer lens, this qualitative study aimed to extend seX-positive research to the topiC of sexual minority men’s sexual empowerment. The present study used interviews with sex workers, aCtivists, educators, therapists, and sexual assault survivors with a range of interseCting identities to shed light on the ways in whiCh these sexual minority men understand and experience sexual empowerment. Results of these interviews indiCated that partiCipants understood sexual empowerment to include elements of sexual selF-humanization, sexual liberation, sexual sovereignty, and belonging to a sexually empowering community.

Romero Program of Social Work, Ryerson University This paper will be looking at the influences of the creation of LGBTQ gaymer groups in the gaming world and within the LGBTQ communities itself. Through queering space and community development theory lenses, I look at how gaming that is dominantly viewed as being a straight, white, able bodied and a male space can be queered by the inclusion of LGBTQ players/gaymers. Using a critical ethnographic method through interviewing gaymer group leaders, I will explore how gaymer groups have had an impact on combating the harassment experienced by LGBTQ players/gaymers and how these groups have created their own communities that act as a form of queering up space and resistance to homophobia iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I express my warm thanks to my parents for their support as I enter this final phase of my academic education.
