Author Talk: "Not in MY Gayborhood: Dupont Circle and Vicarious Citizens"

In celebration of LGBTQ History Month, Rainbow History Project will host an author talk with Professor Theo Greene, Ph.D., Chair of the Sociology Department of Bowdoin College.

Dr. Greene's latest book project, "Not in MY Gayborhood: Gay Neighborhoods and the Rise of the Vicarious Citizen," explores the persistence of iconic gay neighborhoods in Washington, DC, through acts of ephemeral placemaking by nonresidents (vicarious citizens). It is based on several years of extensive field research in Washington and interviews with LGBTQ residents and visitors of Dupont Circle.

Dr. Greene will present an overview of his book in dialog with RHP's Director of Archiving, Vincent Slatt, anf questions from the audience.

Free of charge, donations requested, registration required.
