José Medina CLP: Counter-Communities, Uncivil Resistance and Queer Activism

Dr. Medina examines queer liberation’s resistance to silencing and stigmatization through uncivil protest actions that create counter-community and exert epistemic and affective friction. Focusing on multiracial queer activism, examples include the Cooper Do-nuts Riot, the Stonewall Riots, and Queer Nation’s public kiss-ins.
