Remnants of Resistance
Episodes in this limited podcast series delve into the unique and hidden stories in queer history contained within the Vern and Bonnie Bullough Collection on Sex and Gender at California State University Northridge and beyond. Hosted by an interdisciplinary group of scholars, episodes look at queer themes in early 20th century horror magazines, what happened when 40 queer activists were arrested at an underground slave trade in 1976, the founding of an independent Catholic church that ordained openly-queer priests, the twisted treatment of non-binary individuals in research, and more.
