Expos 20 | Inventing the Queer Past

This resource guide has been designed for students in Inventing the Queer Past, a Spring 2023 Expos course taught by Brian Pietras.

What follows is a preliminary "toolkit": some suggestions about where to concentrate your efforts. They represent our first best guesses at where might find current scholarly conversations to use in your work

Remember that good research is often about following up on hunches, testing out a hypothesis and then seeing where else (or to what else) it leads.

Good research is also about using language flexibly and strategically.  It's normal to try several search word combinations before you strike gold

Please reach out if questions arise at any point in your project. We'll triage by email or set up a time to meet in person.

Enjoy your research adventure!
