Queer Lecture Series: Queer Zines in the Academy

The LGBTQ Resource Center invites the campus community to an exciting lecture series celebrating our LGBTQ+ faculty and staff! Refreshments will be served. CC CLUE

Zines are DIY print publications that people make and distribute themselves. This talk will explore the history of zine-making, will highlight some queer zines (both contemporary and historical), and discuss how libraries collect identity-based zines today. Prof Adkison will bring some zines to the lecture to pass around. Let’s have fun and learn about queer zines!

Presented by:
Anne Hays Adkison is an Associate Professor and Instruction Librarian here at CSI. They have authored numerous academic articles about zines, library instruction, and OER issues. Their favorite hobbies are making zines, riding bikes, sewing, and DIY craft-making.
