The Daniel-McCarter Award was given to Mariel Brown-Fallon for her paper \u201cThe Development of Bisexuality: Meaning, Practice, and Identity.” This essay was written in Paul Deslandes’ seminar \u201cQueer Lives: LGBT History\u201d during the fall 2014 semester. In this insightful and sophisticated essay, Mariel traces the changing meanings of bisexuality over the course of the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Relying on the works of Charles Darwin, Richard von Krafft-Ebing, Sigmund Freud, and Alfred Kinsey, she illustrates the complex history of a concept. In so doing, she reminds us that categories of sexual identity indeed have a long and complicated history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joshua MacGregor’s paper, \u201cToward A (Queer) Urban Geography,\u201d is the end product of research they did during their participation in the Comparative Women\u2019s and Gender Studies in Europe education abroad program. The paper explores the way that sexualities are shaped in and through space and place and offers a comparative survey and analysis of LGBT spaces and queer sites of resistance in Berlin, Prague, and Krakow. Joshua\u2019s work challenges us to think about how spaces can function in oppressive as well as liberatory ways and how spaces can be rethought, rewritten, and revised to create sites of resistance and liberation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
