Project: Photography and the Sexual Revolution
This project analyzes the ways in which the medium of photography helped give expression to changing visions of subjectivity and selfhood for queer and trans people during the period often referred to as the Sexual Revolution. This research will explore how images served as a vital form of self-exploration and discovery in this period of social and legal reform.
