It showcases student work that is selected for innovative research, theoretical sophistication, and elegant writing. Consequently, the caliber of submissions must be high to qualify for publication. Each year, two student editors and two faculty advisors evaluate the submissions. Assessment is conducted in several stages. An initial reading of submissions by the four editors and advisors establishes a short-list of top papers. The assessment criteria in this process, as stated above, focus on the papers’ level of research innovation, theoretical sophistication, and elegance of presentation. No one category is privileged over the others and strengths in one can be considered corrective for deficiencies in another. The complete panel of four editors and advisors then votes on the final selections. Occasionally, as needed, authors may be asked to shorten or edit their original submissions for re-submission.

Written by students who have completed original research projects in advanced seminars, these essays represent the highest levels of achievement in the department, and this year, students submitted a number of accomplished research papers for review. We would like to express our gratitude to all of the students who presented their work for consideration, as well as to the devoted faculty members who guided these burgeoning writers with their projects. We are delighted to present to you the 2020 edition of Historical Perspectives. It is our firm belief that researching and writing history serves not only to unlock understandings of the past, but to shine light on the present and future. Although every year unearths its own challenges, we must acknowledge the unique impact of 2020 on the minds of the writers whose works appear in this edition of Historical Perspectives. In 2020, the United States witnessed one of the largest protest movements in its history in the Black Lives Matters protests, and globally, the devastating coronavirus pandemic continues to threaten organized human life everywhere. These life-changing events add to the stresses of protecting human rights and the environment. The essays in this journal undoubtedly emerged from this turbulent world, and through them we hope to gain insights to help us as we work for tomorrow. As a result, this year’s edition includes essays united in a yearning for a better world. Exploring a wide variety of topics spanning both cultures and time periods, some essays center on the activism of key historical figures, while others focus on ongoing demands for equity, acceptance, and social justice. The papers in this journal go beyond analyzing past events by bringing them into conversation with the tribulations and triumphs of today. Whether the writers are calling for more inclusive genocide Historical Perspectives, Series II, Volume XXV, 2020 Published by Scholar Commons, 2020 7 Historical Perspectives: Santa Clara University Undergraduate Journal of History, Series II, Vol. 25 [2020], Art. 1 memorials or prompting readers to join ongoing movements for ecological justice, their work reflects a discerning curiosity that seeks nuanced understandings of the past so that we may envision a better future. Many of these essays explore similar topics as they are shaped by the courses offered at Santa Clara University, including classes on protest and reform movements, genocide in the twentieth century, and the history of sexuality. This year’s submissions testify to the intersections between Women’s and Gender Studies, Ethnic Studies, and History, and they demonstrate that our student writers utilize critical interpretation, insight, and creativity in order to analyze the events of the past and recognize their lasting presence in the world today. In their research, the authors contribute to a fuller picture of the past that confronts traditional narratives that have been flattened or sanitized in popular historiography. We are also thrilled to announce the addition of a reviews section to this year’s journal. These shorter pieces focus on the Theatre and Dance Department’s spring production of Lauren Gunderson’s The Revolutionists, as well as a review of an episode from the PBS series “The Future of America’s Past.” By expanding our scholarly scope beyond research papers, we aim to demonstrate the educational value and political importance of plays, films, and other media. History can be presented via many mediums, and as the number of media platforms increases, we hope to see a commensurate increase in the dissemination of historical knowledge and political awareness. To illustrate the idea of a better world, we chose a 2013 photograph from Helmut Grill to cover this year’s journal. Titled “A Birds World Nr. 5,” this piece captures the dichotomy between the lush hope for life and the uncertainty of the future represented in the ominous storm clouds hovering above the landscape. When confronted with the unknown, we have a duty to respond in a way that minimizes suffering and promotes life. If we choose to pursue paths based on social justice and living with earthly integrity, we ii https://scholarcommons.scu.edu/historical-perspectives/vol25/iss1/1 8 et al.: Full Issue can work toward fulfilling the promise of a better world, and we view history as the key to unlocking this path forward. As Luis Valdez said at this year’s first Santa Clara University Listens & Learns: Race, Reflection, Renewal event, “the end and hope are always upon us,” and we should keep both at the forefront of our minds as we try to find ways to think and live in more just, equitable, and ecologically sound ways. Taking suffering and injustice seriously reminds us that there is always more work to be done in our co-creation of a better world. Taking joy and love seriously minimizes feelings

An archeological context for LGBTQ sites looks forward, providing a new avenue for preservation and interpretation. This LGBTQ history may remain hidden just under the ground surface, even when buildings and structures have been demolished. THE PRESERVATION05 OF LGBTQ HERITAGE Gail Dubrow Introduction The LGBTQ Theme Study released by the National Park Service in October 2016 is the fruit of three decades of effort by activists and their allies to make historic preservation a more equitable and inclusive sphere of activity. The LGBTQ movement for civil rights has given rise to related activity in the cultural sphere aimed at recovering the long history of same- sex relationships, understanding the social construction of gender and sexual norms, and documenting the rise of movements for LGBTQ rights in American history.

  • LGBT History
    LGBT History Just like any other marginalized group that has had to fight for acceptance and equal rights, the LGBT community has a history of events that have impacted the community. This is a collection of some of the major happenings in the LGBT community during the 20th century through today. It is broken up into three sections: Pre-Stonewall, Stonewall, and Post-Stonewall. This is because the move toward equality shifted dramatically after the Stonewall Riots. Please note this is not a comprehensive list. Pre-Stonewall 1913 Alfred Redl, head of Austrian Intelligence, committed suicide after being identified as a Russian double agent and a homosexual. His widely-published arrest gave birth to the notion that homosexuals are security risks. 1919 Magnus Hirschfeld founded the Institute for Sexology in Berlin. One of the primary focuses of this institute was civil rights for women and gay people. 1933 On January 30, Adolf Hitler banned the gay press in Germany. In that same year, Magnus Herschfeld’s Institute for Sexology was raided and over 12,000 books, periodicals, works of art and other materials were burned. Many of these items were completely irreplaceable. 1934 Gay people were beginning to be rounded up from German-occupied countries and sent to concentration camps. Just as Jews were made to wear the Star of David on the prison uniforms, gay people were required to wear a pink triangle. WWII Becomes a time of “great awakening” for queer people in the United States. The homosocial environments created by the military and number of women working outside the home provide greater opportunity for people to explore their sexuality.

  • Homosexuality in the USSR (1956–82)
    Homosexuality in the USSR (1956–82) Rustam Alexander Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2018 School of Historical and Philosophical Studies Faculty of Arts The University of Melbourne Abstract The history of Soviet homosexuality is largely unexplored territory. This has led some of the few scholars who have examined this topic to claim that, in the period from Stalin through to the Gorbachev era, the issue of homosexuality was surrounded by silence. Such is the received view and in this thesis, I set out to challenge it. My investigation of a range of archival sources, including reports from the Soviet Interior Ministry (MVD), as well as juridical, medical and sex education literature, demonstrates that although homosexuality was not widely discussed in the broader public sphere, there was still lively discussion of it in these specialist and in some cases classified texts, from 1956 onwards. The participants of these discussions sought to define homosexuality, explain it, and establish their own methods of eradicating it. In important ways, this handling of the issue of homosexuality was specific to the Soviet context. This thesis sets out to broaden our understanding of the history of official discourses on homosexuality in the late Soviet period. This history is also examined in the context of and in comparison to developments on this front in the West, on the one hand, and Eastern Europe, on the other. The thesis draws on the observation made by Dan Healey, the pioneering scholar of Russian and Soviet sexuality, that in the Soviet Union after Stalin’s death a combination of science and police methods was used to strengthen heterosexual norms in the Soviet society.

  • Bisexual People’S Experiences of and Ideas for Improving Services
    COMPLICATED? Bisexual people’s experiences of and ideas for improving services Sam Rankin James Morton and Matthew Bell 1 Acknowledgements The Equality Network would like to thank all the respondents to the survey for taking the time to contribute their experiences and ideas to better bisexual inclusion. We would also like to thank the authors of ‘The Bisexuality Report’1 for inspiring this work. Thanks also to our research assistant, Mel Maguire and all the people who provided feedback on the consultation draft and proof read the final draft. Thank you to the Scottish Government Equality Unit for funding this work. 1. Barker and others, 2012 3 Foreword Meg John Barker Back in 2012 when we produced The Bisexuality Report, my co-authors and I struggled with a few things. There was the lack of evidence regarding the experience of bisexual people in the UK – particularly those outside of the official ‘bisexual community’ – to support the findings from other countries. There was the absence of in-depth qualitative data from UK-based bisexual people to illustrate our points, particularly regarding experiences of services - which is so necessary if we are to fight for improvement in those areas. And there was the dearth of material anywhere regarding people whose bisexuality intersected with other marginalised identities and experiences. This in particular was something we subsequently hugely regretted giving such a small amount of space to, given its vital importance and the danger of suggesting shared experience where actually there is so much diversity. For these reasons – and so many more – I am extremely grateful to the Equality Network for producing ‘Complicated?’.

London-Terry: Examining Undergraduate Attitudes Towards Bisexuality and Bisexual Individuals EXAMINING UNDERGRADUATE ATTITUDES TOWARDS BISEXUALITY AND BISEXUAL INDIVIDUALS Charae A. London-Terry Dr. Jeanne Thomas, Mentor Dr. Yvette Colón, Mentor ABSTRACT Despite the great strides that the Lesbian and Gay (LG) community has made in the last four decades, bisexual individuals still “report a lack of validation, isolation and ostracism within both the heterosexual and homosexual communities” (Israel & Mohr, 2004, p. 119). This study focuses on undergraduate students’ attitudes towards bisexuality and bisexual individuals at Eastern Michigan University by testing the hypothesis that homosexual and heterosexual students will have a significant bias towards bisexual persons, and that male students will demonstrate bias towards bisexual persons, regardless of their own sexual orientation. The survey instrument was an 18-item questionnaire revised from the Biphobia Scale, which presented Likert scale response options paired with statements describing stereotypical bisexual traits.

  • Bi Women Quarterly Vol
    Fall 2017 Coming Out Stories Bi Women Quarterly Vol. 35 No. 4 A publication of the Boston Bisexual Women’s Network, for women everywhere The Stories I Tell, Myself By MB Austin When did you first know you were ___? That’s always a fun getting-to-know-you question, especially if the person asking fills in the blank with a lesbian. Which they often do, because I’ve been happily, matter-of-factly married to a woman for so long. (Of course, no one who mistakes me for straight thinks to ask this question, but that is a topic for another day.) Regardless of what label gets dropped into the inquiry, the answer is “just the facts, ma’am.” It goes something like this: Well, around fourth grade, I realized I had crushes on some of my school friends: girls and boys. Also around that time, I saw a big-screen movie with the predictable romantic climax where the (predictably male) hero kisses the (predictably female) love interest, and I realized very clearly that I did not know which character I would rather be in that scene. My feelings were real, I was certain, but they were different, because all the other girls only ever talked about the boys they crushed on. I didn’t have a name for what that meant about me, and I didn’t know anyone I felt comfortable asking. As an avid reader, I knew there were words I could use, and that I would find By MB Austin them in the pages of the stories about other people who shared this one trait Full comic on page 17! with me.

    Punishing Queer Sexuality in the Age of LGBT Rights by Scott De Orio A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History and Women’s Studies) in The University of Michigan 2017 Doctoral Committee: Professor Matthew D. Lassiter, Chair Professor David M. Halperin Professor William J. Novak Associate Professor Gayle S. Rubin Scott De Orio [email protected] ORCID iD: 0000-0002-4631-6241 © Scott De Orio 2017 To my parents ii Acknowledgments Support from several institutions and fellowships made it possible for me to complete this project. At the University of Michigan, the Department of History, the Department of Women’s Studies, the Rackham Graduate School, and the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies funded the research and writing of my dissertation and provided me with the ideal intellectual culture in which to do that work. Elizabeth Wingrove got me thinking about gender as a category of analysis in the Community of Scholars seminar that she directed at the Institute for Research on Women and Gender. Fellowships from Cornell University’s Human Sexuality Collection, Princeton University’s Seeley G. Mudd Manuscript Library, the William Nelson Cromwell Foundation, and the U-M Department of History funded archival research for the project. While I was in the revision stage, Mitra Shirafi and the Hurst Summer Institute in Legal History exploded my thinking about the law and politics in ways that I’m just beginning to process. When I was in high school, my favorite English teacher Deanna Johnson introduced me to the art of analyzing pop culture, and I’ve been hooked ever since.
