Poisoned Ivy: Lesbian and Gay Academics Confronting HomophobiaIn this book, the author, as well as faculty from a wide range of disciplines, geographical regions, and institutions, speak out about their long-term experience in negotiating the difficult terrain of casual conversations with colleagues, departmental politics, and administration policies. In stark contrast to accounts of being denied tenure or promotion are testimonies about the elation that comes from doing lesbian/gay scholarship, political work on campus, or mentoring students and junior faculty. |
