IT IS POSSIBLE ONE SENSE TO THK OF UNIVERSI AS STUTNS WHOSE FUNCTN IS SENTIALLY NSERVATIVE: THEY EXIST ORR TO PRERVE AND TRANSM TRADNAL FORMS OF KNOWLEDGE, AND SO MATA PROFOUND TI TO THE PAST. BUT AT THE SAME TIME, THE RELATIVE TONOMY OF UNIVERSI HAS ALLOWED THEM TO FUNCTN HISTORILLY AS S OF CRIQUE AND INOCLASM. THE STRANGE THG ABOUT UNIVERSI THIS SENSE IS THAT THEY ARE AT ONCE STNCH FENRS OF TRADN AND HOTBEDS OF RADILISM.WHILE POPULAR ACUNTS OF THE “CULTURE WARS” WOULD HAVE BELIEVE THAT THE UNIVERSY IS DIVID BETWEEN TRADNALISTS AND RADILS, FEW AMICS FALL NEATLY TO ONE OF THE TWO MPS. MOST AMICS ARE BOTH TRADNAL AND RADIL THEIR TELLECTUAL MMENTS, AND THIS SENSE THEY LIVE OUT THE NTRADICTNS OF THE UNIVERSY A VERY REAL WAY. THE WAY THAT AMICS FORMULATE THE “PROBLEM” OF THE EMERGENCE OF NEW DISCIPL —HOW TO NTUE TO VALUE THE OLD TEXTS, METHODOLOGI, AND WAYS OF THKG AT THE SAME TIME THAT WE STGGLE TO E TO TERMS WH THE NEW ON—IS A TTAMENT TO THIS FG AMBIVALENCE.AS A NEWLY MTED PH.D. WH A STRONG VTMENT THE NEW DISCIPL—MY REARCH AND TEACHG ARE PRIMARILY THE FIELD OF QUEER STUDI—I DON’T THK THAT SUCH AMBIVALENCE IS NECSARILY A PROBLEM. IT IS GOOD FOR AMICS TO STGGLE WH SUCH IMPOSSIBLE MANDS: MAK THEM SMARTER. WHAT IS A PROBLEM, I’D SUGGT, IS THE SYNERGY BETWEEN AMIC AMBIVALENCE AND STUTNAL ERTIA. AS OTHER LARGE BURECRATIC STUTNS, THE RATE OF CHANGE THE UNIVERSY TENDS TO BE VERY SLOW. THIS IS PARTICULARLY TE WHEN WHAT IS AT ISSUE ARE THE EP, ANIZG STCTUR THAT MAKE UP AN STUTN, AND THE UNIVERSY, THOSE STCTUR ARE LLED THE DISCIPL.DISCIPL DO CHANGE OVER TIME, WHETHER WE REGNIZE THOSE CHANG OR NOT. DEPARTMENTS SUCH AS ENGLISH OR SOCLOGY OR BLOGY OR CLASSICS ARE NOT TIMELS; RATHER, THEY ARE MAN-MA ARTIFACTS THAT EMERGED OUT OF PARTICULAR HISTORIL NTEXTS. WHILE SOME DISCIPL ARE OLR THAN OTHERS, EVERY DISCIPLE WAS NEW ONCE UPON A TIME. THE CK IS STACKED AGAST UPSTART DISCIPL, BUT THIS IS PECIALLY TE OF THE SO-LLED “INTY-BASED DISCIPL,” A RANGE OF NEW AND NOT-SO-NEW FIELDS CLUDG WOMEN’S STUDI, AO-AMERIN STUDI, ETHNIC STUDI, QUEER OR LBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL AND TRANSGENR (LGBT) STUDI, LATO STUDI, NATIVE AMERIN STUDI AND DISABILY STUDI.TODAY, MOST AMICS AGREE THAT AMERIN HIGHER TN HAS BEEN SIGNIFINTLY ENHANCED BY THE OPENG OF THE UNIVERSY TO WOMEN, POOR PEOPLE AND PEOPLE OF LOR OVER THE LAST HUNDRED YEARS. BUT THE OPENG OF THE UNIVERSY TO NEW FIELDS OF STUDY HAS BEEN MORE NTENT: THIS NTEXT, THE IOLOGY OF DIVERSY GIV WAY TO ARGUMENTS ABOUT THE DANGERS OF THE “SLIPPERY SLOPE”: IF WE N TEGRATE QUEER STUDI, CARIBBEAN STUDI, SOUTH ASIAN STUDI, OR NATIVE AMERIN STUDI TO THE CURRICULUM, THEN WHAT WILL BE NEXT? THIS LE OF REASONG ECHO ANTI-IMMIGRATN ARGUMENTS TROUBLG WAYS. LIKE SUCH ARGUMENTS, CLAIMS TO BE ABOUT OTHERS WHO HAVE NOT YET ARRIVED, BUT WORKS EFFECTIVELY TO -LEGIMIZE THE NCERNS OF STUNTS WHO ARE ALREADY HERE.WORK QUEER STUDI OR ETHNIC STUDI IS OFTEN TRAVTIED AS A FORM OF NAVEL-GAZG ON THE PART OF MARGAL SOCIAL GROUPS. BUT FACT ALL KDS OF PEOPLE ARE WORKG ON ALL KDS OF ISSU THE AREAS. WHY IS THIS? FOR ONE, IS OFTEN THE SE THAT THE MOST TRENCHANT CRIQU OF NCEPTS SUCH AS “RACE” OR “SEXUAL INTY” ARE G OUT OF THE SO-LLED “INTY-BASED DISCIPL.” ALSO, THE PUTATIVELY NARROW NCERNS ADDRSED THE FIELDS ENGAGE MANY OF THE MOST PRSG AND FAR-REACHG NCERNS OF THE PRENT, SUCH AS RACIAL PROFILG, TERNATNAL LABOR MARKETS AND THE POLICS OF HEALTH RE. SCHOLARS HAVE BEEN DRAWN TO THE AREAS OF QUIRY NOT OUT OF NARCISSISM BUT BEE THEY REGNIZE THAT SOME OF THE MOST VIBRANT AND PELLG TELLECTUAL WORK OUT THERE IS HAPPENG SUCH FIELDS.HARVARD NEEDS TO DO MORE— TERMS OF URSE OFFERGS, AMIC MENTORG, AND VISIBILY—TO MAKE QUEER STUDI A VIABLE FIELD OF STUDY FOR S UNRGRADUAT. THE UNIVERSY REGNIZ THE IMPORTANCE OF THE POLIL AND SOCIAL ASPECTS OF QUEER LIFE, BUT HAS NOT FORMALLY REGNIZED QUEER STUDI AS A LEGIMATE FIELD OF TELLECTUAL QUIRY. THE CRIL ANALYSIS OF GENR AND SEXUALY IS A TOPIC THAT IS POTENTIALLY OF GREAT TERT TO ALL STUNTS, NO MATTER HOW THEY FE THEMSELV. SUCH POSSIBILI CURRENTLY EXIST FOR STUNTS AT OTHER STUTNS: AT YALE, FOR STANCE, A STANDG MTEE APPOTED BY THE PROVOST ANIZ OFFERGS GAY AND LBIAN STUDI; AT THE UNIVERSY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY, UNRGRADUAT N MOR LGBT STUDI. HARVARD OFFERS LTLE THE WAY OF URS OR GUIDANCE FOR STUNTS WH TERTS THE HISTORY AND THEORY OF SEXUALY.DEFENRS OF THE TRADNAL DISCIPL SCRIBE THEM AS IF THEY GUARANTEED BOTH AN THENTIC RELATN TO THE PAST AND THE SURVIVAL OF CRIL REASON SELF. THEY TEND TO SUGGT THAT IF STUNTS ARE THKG ABOUT THGS LIKE PERSONAL INTY, SEXUALY, OR THE EXPERIENCE OF GENR, THEY ARE NOT THKG. I’D SUGGT THAT THE OPPOSE IS TE: STUNTS DO THEIR BT THKG WHEN THEY ENGAGE THE PLEXI AND DIFFICULTI THAT THE “REAL WORLD” SO RICHLY PROVIS.HEATHER LOVE ’91 IS A WOODROW WILSON POSTDOCTORAL FELLOW {FONT-SIZE:16.5PX;LE-HEIGHT:26PX;BOX-SIZG:NTENT-BOX;MAX-WIDTH:600PX;PADDG:0PX 20PX;MARG:0PX TO;MARG:1EM TO;} A{LOR:#7B1B18;}WANT TO KEEP UP WH BREAKG NEWS?

Through archival rearch, she is evaluatg the legal and activist legaci of the femist reproductive jtice movement and their effect on gay rights activism and the eventual achievement of foundatnal Supreme Court lgs. The women’s rights movement of the 1960s was que distct om gay rights movements of that time. For example, the papers of the Natnal Organizatn for Women (NOW) show that they had a gay rights task force.

On the activism si, [the women’s rights movement] held nventns to promote gay rights. Right now, the gay rights movement is still flowerg—and strong the face of a lot of legal phdown. Whout the femist movement backg the gay rights movement, I don’t thk that we would have the foundatnal legal victori for gay rights.
