Queer Literacies by Mark McBeth, Chapter 5-End

Quotes I Marked

  • Good blockquotes from other sources on p.173 and p.191

  • (p.192) Quote from Frank Kameny (astronomer fired after being outed, who wrote about how gay researchers must take control of our own fate in the scholarship) “As a scientist by training and by profession, I feel fully and formally competent to judge good and poor scientific work when I see them—and fully qualified to express my conclusions” in “Does Research Into Homosexuality Matter?” (1965)

  • (p.200)— block quote from Jay Prosser about trans literacy and autobiography

  • (p.205) “If something represents this trigger for literacy [referencing Gee] for the purpose of dissent and critical awareness, then the AIDS virus and the historical context in which it occurred makes the virus a prime and heinous literacy sponsor of the twentieth century” in terms of activists communicating about AIDS to others, but also in terms of T&D Committee needing to get super scientifically literate and get access to different things to read
