The Relevance of LGBTQ+ Historical Archaeology

Wednesday, December 4, 2024 – 7PM ET

Finding LGBTQ+ people in the historic past is both important and challenging. By bringing suppressed histories to light, a more complete picture of the past is possible. In this one-hour virtual workshop we will explore those histories through community studies; social organization; identity formation, expression, and change; marginalization; and oppression and resistance.

Strength in Numbers
