History Professor Jennifer Evans<\/a> recently gave a talk at the University of Tennessee. A short excerpt is included below with the full article by Eli Boldt, “Historian and Professor Jennifer Evans talks queering history as a methodology of investigating the past<\/a>” available online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jennifer Evans delivered a lecture on Wednesday called \u201cWhat Does It Mean to Queer History?\u201d Sponsored by UT\u2019s History Department, the talk detailed Evans\u2019 research on queer culture in post-war Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evans is a historian and a professor at Carleton University. She is currently working on a book which will focus on the queer experience in Germany after World War II through the lens of queer art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evans has researched the LGBTQ+ history of the Holocaust, examining the nazi persecution of gays and lesbians. Her first book, published in 2011, is called \u201cLife among the Ruins: Cityscape and Sexuality in Cold War Berlin.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monica Black, a history professor at UT, had her graduate students read Evans\u2019 first book this week in preparation for her visit. The book, Black said, is a \u201ccultural history on the role of sexuality and gender in the reconstruction of Berlin after Nazi Germany\u2019s defeat.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s harder to introduce Jennifer Evans\u2026 not only because her accomplishments are numerous, but also because they are not always visible,\u201d Black said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Black pointed to the students who Evans mentors, and the expertise she lends to those who ask. Evans is committed to collaborative work in a system that emphasizes individualism, Black said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
