Attached is notice about Joan Nestle’s visit next week to QC on Monday 10/20 during Free Hour in Rosenthal 230. 1. You are invited to attend. 2. You are encouraged to share, forward, print and display the flyer-- and to invite students and colleagues.
Joan is an author, teacher, civil rights and LGBTQ activist, QC Alumnae – and founder of the internationally known “Herstory” archives. She was one of the first (and most beloved) QC SEEK teachers – who brought much passion and caring to her teaching of writing and literature. She now lives in Australia and is invited to speak all around the world – and we are lucky for her coming back to QC to visit. Joan did an oral history interview on her last visit to QC -- which has been transcribed and is in our archives and available to you and your students.
