    TRADE, WOLVES, AND THE BOUNDARIES OF NORMAL MANHOOD THE MOST S'TRIKIN6 DIFFERENeE BETWEEN 'fHE ·DOMINANT SEXUAL ~UL'IURE of the early twentieth century and that of our own era is the degree to which the earlier culture permitted men to engage in sexual relations with other men, often on a regular basis, without requiring them to regard themselves-or to be regarded by others-as gay. If sexual abnormality was defined in different terms in prewar culture, tben so, too, necessarily, was s~X~~! ~9~~Jjtr.. rh~~~m!~Jity 91 th~fairy ro the popular r~pr~~~n- ration of sexual abnormality allowed other men to engage in casual sex- ual relations with other men, with boys, and, above all, with tbe fairies themselves without imagining that they themselves were abnormal. Many men alternated between male and female sexual partners without believ- ing that interest in one precluded interest in the other, or that their occa- sional recourse to male sexual partners, in particular, indicated an abnor- . mal, "homosexual," or even "bisexual" disposition, for they neither understood nor organized their sexual practices along a hetero-homosex- ual axis.

  • Meals+With+Faculty+Program+Semester+Report+
    Introduction Every day, Yale College students interact with their instructors, which include professors, lecturers, and teaching fellows. However, these interactions are typically limited to the classroom and office hours, and relationships tend not to continue past the end of the semester. By creating another way in which students can interact with faculty, students will have the ability to develop stronger relationships, which are valuable for both students and faculty. A Meals with Faculty program would allow students to interact more easily with professors, lecturers, and teaching fellows outside of typical learning spaces. This project aims to institute a robust Meals with Faculty program within Yale College. Background Currently, Yale College does not offer a college-wide Meals with Faculty program for students. Although professors in some classes invite students to meals, whether in the dining hall or off-campus, these are only a handful. There are also several residential colleges that have similar Meals with Faculty programs, such as Davenport College, Branford College, and Grace Hopper College. These college-specific programs are typically run by the residential college councils. In addition to this, students already have the opportunity to schedule meals with tenured professors, who are able to have lunches in the dining halls free of charge. However, many students are unaware of this opportunity or feel uncomfortable asking professors to a meal. A Meals with Faculty program would break down this “barrier” to interacting more with faculty. Peer Institutions Most of Yale’s peer institutions have Meals with Faculty programs in place. Each peer institution has designed a unique program to encourage relationships between students and faculty.

  • January 29, 2018
    Benjamin Franklin College Dean’s Notes – January 29, 2018 Dear Franklinites, It's the season of Masquerade and Rush and basketball and flu, all of which illustrate -- in ways smooth and sticky -- the need for reliance upon others. I toured a group of alums from the class of 1968 through Ben Frank over the weekend. They were suitably awed by the place as we stopped at each marker of the college's communal life. They made little asides about how different Yale looks now from then, a few of which induced an internal eye roll. But mostly what I noticed is that they wouldn't stop talking! No matter how much I cajoled, herded, yelled at them to keep moving, more to see. Fifty years gone and when these guys come back together the conversation never lapses. Mostly mundane stuff about a particular party or prank, some late night antics. (No paeans to their deans, alas). They were happy to be in one another's company. As, I hope, are you, and will you be. First-years: See you at Fireside Chats, starting tonight! Juniors: - if you're looking for a lot of togetherness, in the very best sense... FroCo applications are due Wednesday by 11:59 pm. Bring the Lightning! -Dean Hill A Time to Talk When a friend calls to me from the road And slows his horse to a meaning walk, I don't stand still and look around On all the hills I haven't hoed, And shout from where I am, 'What is it?' No, not as there is a time to talk.

Throwing Open the Door: Preserving Philadelphia's Gay Bathhouses Abstract In 2014 the National Park Service called for increased preservation of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender places in the United States, thereby legitimizing LGBT history on a national level. This thesis is an extension of that appeal and undertakes a study of the preservation of gay bathhouses in an urban landscape. More specifically, it investigates the geographic and architectural significance of gay bathhouses between the early twentieth century and present day. Using the City of Philadelphia as a case study, the thesis explains the cultural and political trends that created the geography and history of the Philadelphia bathhouses. Utilizing quantitative and qualitative data, archival research, and an original survey, the thesis concludes that bathhouses are important to the landscape of gay neighborhoods and that their architecture highlights invaluable narratives of gay life in American history.
