Lecture: “A Queer History of Maine?" with Howard M. Solomon

Downeast Diversity Center, 47 Foster Avenue. How do we tell the history of LGBT Mainers? How does community building and historical research intersect? And what's queer about examining the past, anyways? Howard M. Solomon, an historian of sexuality and leader in the effort to establish a LGBT archive at the University of Southern Maine, will share his perspectives on the field and promising opportunities for new research. Note that this event is open to the entire LGBTQA community.
