Student Spotlights – May 2020
Posted in: Student Feature of the Month
Featured here in our Student Spotlight are some sensational culminating projects from Dr. Pascale LaFountain’s class in Spring ’20. Students in this class explore discourses, cultures, and histories that are foundational to LGBTQ+ studies and consider the powerful intersections between LGBTQ+ identities and race, gender, ethnicity, socioeconomics, and more. The projects showcased here are exemplary for how they take up these complex factors!
