Mary Gray - Out in the Country: Youth, Media, and Queer Visibility in Rural America
03/11/2010 7:00 pm
From Walmart drag parties, renegade Homemakers’ Clubs, and online chat rooms, Out in the Country offers an unprecedented contemporary account of the lives of today’s rural queer youth. Mary Gray, Assistant Professor of Communication and Culture at Indiana University at Bloomington, illustrates that against a backdrop of an increasingly impoverished and privatized rural America, LGBT youth and their allies visibly and vibrantly work the boundaries of the public spaces available to them. Out in the Country is a timely and groundbreaking ethnographic study of sexuality and gender, new media, youth culture, and the meaning of identity and social movements in a digital age.
