About this Event

Join Wistariahurst Museum for our next book club book, where we will discuss "Queer: a Graphic History" Written by Meg-John Barker Illustrated by Jules Scheele.

Activist-academic Meg-John Barker and cartoonist Jules Scheele illuminate the histories of queer thought and LGBTQ+ action in this groundbreaking non-fiction graphic novel.
From identity politics and gender roles to privilege and exclusion,"Queer: a Graphic History" explores how we came to view sex, gender and sexuality in the ways that we do; how these ideas get tangled up with our culture and our understanding of biology, psychology and sexology; and how these views have been disputed and challenged.
Join fellow readers for this book club in recognition of Pride month. The meeting schedule is as follows:

-June 16th having read pages 1-85

-June 16th having read pages 86-173


Únete al Museo Wistariahurst para nuestra próxima reunión del club de lectura, en la que comentaremos «Queer: a Graphic History», escrito por Meg-John Barker e ilustrado por Jules Scheele.

La activista y académica Meg-John Barker y el dibujante Jules Scheele nos acercan a la historia del pensamiento queer y la lucha LGBTQ+ en esta innovadora novela gráfica de no ficción.

Desde la política de identidad y los roles de género hasta los privilegios y la exclusión, «Queer: a Graphic History» explora cómo hemos llegado a ver el sexo, el género y la sexualidad de la forma en que lo hacemos; cómo estas ideas se entrelazan con nuestra cultura y nuestra comprensión de la biología, la psicología y la sexología; y cómo estas visiones han sido cuestionadas y desafiadas.
