About

Welcome to the Queer Glossary 2016 webpage!

This glossary is one part of a larger project under Phil Longo’s Oakes 150: Queer History class, at the University of California, Santa Cruz. For Queer History, the interweaving history and definition of the term Queer- as a slur, as an identity, as an umbrella term- is analyzed, specifically how it ties into the issues and movements part of the larger past and present social paradigm (such as feminism, racial rights, and the reclaiming of histories).

Here at this webpage, you can find definitions for terms found in our readings that further emphasizes this course’s ultimate question-

Is there a Queer history?

Through the hard work (and the joy that came with it) that our project team put into this glossary, we hope you find this page helpful in whatever reason you’re visiting it for!
