    “You’re gonna need a rock and a whole lotta medicine” Whitehead is a mantra that Jonny Appleseed, a young Two-Spirit/Indigiqueer and NDN glitter princess, Joshua Joshua repeats to himself in this vivid and utterly compelling debut novel by Joshua Whitehead. Off the rez and trying to find ways to live, love, and survive in the big city, Jonny has one week before he must return to his home—and his former life—to attend the funeral of his stepfather. The seven days that follow are like a fevered dream: stories of love, trauma, sex, kinship, ambition, and heartbreaking recollections of his beloved kokum (grandmother). Jonny’s life is a series of breakages, appendages, and linkages—and as he goes through the motions of preparing to return home, he learns how to put together the pieces of his life. JONNY APPLESEED HIGHLIGHTS Jonny Appleseed is a unique, shattering vision of Indigenous life, full of grit, glitter, and dreams. “Joshua Whitehead redefines what queer Indigenous writing can be in his powerful debut novel. Jonny Appleseed transcends genres of writing to blend the sacred and the sexual into a vital expression of Indigenous desire and love. Reading it is a coming home to bodies, stories, and experiences of queer Indigenous life that has never been so richly and honestly shown before. This book is an honour song to every queer NDN body who has ever lived and it will transform the universe with its beauty and magic.” FROM THE BACKLIST —Gwen Benaway, author of Passage “If we’re lucky, we’ll find one or two books in a lifetime that change the language of story, that manage to illuminate new curves in the flat vessels of old letters and words.

  • Why Indiana Should Pass a Conversion Therapy Ban to Protect and Promote Mental Health Outcomes for Lgbtq Youth
    EXTENDING HOOSIER HOSPITALITY TO LGBTQ YOUTH: WHY INDIANA SHOULD PASS A CONVERSION THERAPY BAN TO PROTECT AND PROMOTE MENTAL HEALTH OUTCOMES FOR LGBTQ YOUTH WARREN CANGANY* I. INTRODUCTION My sessions . focused on becoming a “proper woman.” I was told to become more submissive. I remember her saying, “It’s really a blessing we took you out of your leadership roles so guys will be more attracted to you.” The [other] woman focused on changing my physical appearance through feminine clothing and makeup. I soon developed an eating disorder: I don’t have a choice in attending these sessions, I thought, but at least I can control what I eat and throw up.1 Gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender youth, as well as adolescents questioning their gender identity, gender expression, or sexual orientation (“LGBTQ”) “experience significant health and behavioral health disparities. Negative social attitudes and discrimination related to an individual’s LGBTQ identity contribute to these disparities, and lead to individual stressors that affect mental health and well-being.”2 “Today’s LGBTQ youth face a variety of stressors – harassment, family and peer rejection, bullying from their peers, isolation and a lack of a sense of belonging – that have a major impact on their overall well-being.”3 Along with these challenges, LGBTQ youth also face the same age-related developments that accompany adolescence for all youth.4 These challenges include, but are not limited to, processing and expressing gender identity, romantic attraction, and physical changes experienced through puberty.5 However, unlike their heterosexual peers, LGBTQ youth must navigate * J.D.

    Transmotion Vol 6, No 2 (2020) Sweatlodge in the Apocalypse: An Interview with Smokii Sumac JAMES MACKAY *Please view the html version of this piece in order to watch the recording of the original interview. James Mackay: I wanted to start by asking about the images on the front cover of your book, you are enough. They’re very striking, and seem to say a lot about you and your relationship to the land. How did you come to the design and how did you come to choose those particular images? Smokii Sumac: I love this question! I don't get to talk about it a lot. I was really lucky to be working with an Indigenous press, Kegedonce (https://kegedonce.com), who gave me the freedom to choose. And when I started thinking about what I wanted to share, I was thinking about first of all, where I'm from. The lands there in those photos are my many different homes, places that I'm connected to. A lot of the book is about finding home. So there's Peterborough, Ontario, where I was living. One of them is just the moon. There are the mountains from home where I live in Ktunaxa territory. And there's also Blackfeet territory where I do ceremony. Then I put myself out there. I think there's sort of this insecurity around selfies sometimes that can happen because there's sort of a stigma around them – at least, the Kim Kardashian kind of selfie mode. And yet it means something else for our Indigenous women specifically.

    Oral History Center University of California The Bancroft Library Berkeley, California The Freedom to Marry Oral History Project Evan Wolfson Evan Wolfson on the Leadership of the Freedom to Marry Movement Interviews conducted by Martin Meeker in 2015 and 2016 Copyright © 2017 by The Regents of the University of California ii Since 1954 the Oral History Center of the Bancroft Library, formerly the Regional Oral History Office, has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the nation. Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Evan Wolfson dated July 15, 2016.

  • New Queer Cinema, a 25-Film Series Commemorating the 20Th Anniversary of the Watershed Year for New Queer Cinema, Oct 9 & 11—16
    BAMcinématek presents Born in Flames: New Queer Cinema, a 25-film series commemorating the 20th anniversary of the watershed year for New Queer Cinema, Oct 9 & 11—16 The Wall Street Journal is the title sponsor for BAMcinématek and BAM Rose Cinemas. Brooklyn, NY/Sep 14, 2012—From Tuesday, October 9 through Tuesday, October 16, BAMcinématek presents Born in Flames: New Queer Cinema, a series commemorating the 20th anniversary of the term ―New Queer Cinema‖ and coinciding with LGBT History Month. A loosely defined subset of the independent film zeitgeist of the early 1990s, New Queer Cinema saw a number of openly gay artists break out with films that vented anger over homophobic policies of the Reagan and Thatcher governments and the grim realities of the AIDS epidemic with aesthetically and politically radical images of gay life. This primer of new queer classics includes more than two dozen LGBT-themed features and short films, including important early works by directors Todd Haynes, Gus Van Sant, and Gregg Araki, and experimental filmmakers Peggy Ahwesh, Luther Price, and Isaac Julien. New Queer Cinema was first named and defined 20 years ago in a brief but influential article in Sight & Sound by critic B. Ruby Rich, who noted a confluence of gay-oriented films among the most acclaimed entries in the Sundance, Toronto, and New Directors/New Films festivals of 1991 and 1992. Rich called it ―Homo Pomo,‖ a self-aware style defined by ―appropriation and pastiche, irony, as well as a reworking of history with social constructionism very much in mind . irreverent, energetic, alternately minimalist and excessive.‖ The most prominent of the films Rich catalogued were Tom Kalin’s Leopold and Loeb story Swoon (the subject of a 20th anniversary BAMcinématek tribute on September 13) and Haynes’ Sundance Grand Jury Prize winner Poison (1991—Oct 12), an unpolished but complex triptych of unrelated, stylistically diverse, Jean Genet-inspired stories.

  • The Sovereign Erotic
    The Sovereign Erotic 42ND AMERICAN INDIAN WORKSHOP 12TH-17TH JULY, 2021 EUROPEAN UNIVERSITY CYPRUS Organiser: James Mackay A note on the conference format In the last two years, many of us have become far more accustomed to online conferences than we were before. The pandemic has pushed even major national and international scholarly associations into meeting on Zoom, at the same time as scholars have been forced without warning into teaching using distance learning technologies. While recognizing that this has been an unwelcome change for many, I believe that this week’s conference (just as with last year’s AIW) shows that there are more things to be gained than lost in the move online. Most importantly, we’ve reduced the CO2 cost of this conference. An international conference inevitably involves flights from all over the world, and it’s no longer justifiable to assuage our consciences by paying for (often highly suspicious) carbon offset programs. Destroying the atmosphere to go somewhere to talk about Indigenous issues seems particularly hypocritical, and when the research suggests that a move online can reduce the carbon footprint of these events by around 90% the question of how to make online work becomes particularly urgent. Cyprus, the host country for this year’s AIW, is a climate change hotspot where temperatures are predicted to rise by much more than the global average unless world carbon emissions are reduced to zero, so this is a matter of particular urgency here. The change also helps to democratize academia. Online conferences allow for delegates to attend from all over the world, including graduate students and independent scholars who do not have funding for international travel.

  • Unsettling the White Noise: Deconstructing the Nation-Building
    Unsettling the White Noise: Deconstructing the Nation-Building Project of CBC Radio One’s Canada Reads By Emily M. Burns A thesis submitted to the Graduate Program in the Department of Gender Studies in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada August, 2012 Copyright @ Emily M. Burns, 2012 Abstract The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s Canada Reads program, based on the popular television show Survivor, welcomes five Canadian personalities to defend one Canadian book, per year, that they believe all Canadians should read. The program signifies a common discourse in Canada as a nation-state regarding its own lack of coherent and fixed identity, and can be understood as a nationalist project. I am working with Canada Reads as an existing archive, utilizing materials as both individual and interconnected entities in a larger and ongoing process of cultural production – and it is important to note that it is impossible to separate cultural production from cultural consumption. Each year offers a different set of insights that can be consumed in their own right, which is why this project is written in the present tense. Focusing on the first ten years of the Canada Reads competition, I argue that Canada Reads plays a specific and calculated role in the CBC’s goal of nation-building: one that obfuscates repressive national histories and legacies and instead promotes the transformative powers of literacy as that which can conquer historical and contemporary inequalities of all types. This research lays bare the imagined and idealized ‘communities’ of Canada Reads audiences that the CBC wishes to reflect in its programming, and complicates this construction as one that abdicates contemporary responsibilities of settlers.
