Queer Medieval Art: Past, Present, and Future
Online, Monday, August 16 at 9:00 am PST / 12:00 pm EST / 5:00 pm GMT

Human sexuality and gender are complex and personal topics. For over four decades, scholars of all aspects of the Middle Ages have advanced various approaches for locating queer and trans histories. Some have attempted to identify lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual, two-spirit (LGBTQIA2+) people in the past, at times outing these individuals, while others have sought to disrupt binaries that present heterosexual couplings and cisgender identities as normative. In this ICMA online conversation, we will reflect on the state of the field and share strategies for incorporating queer and trans material in our classes, scholarship, and exhibitions on medieval art. Brief case studies by the following scholars will open the floor for a discussion of terms and methodologies: Roland Betancourt (University of California, Irvine), Leah DeVun (Rutgers University), Bryan C. Keene (Riverside City College), and Karl Whittington (Ohio State University).

This event is co-organized by the ICMA’s Programs & Lectures Committee and the IDEA (Inclusivity, Diversity, Equity, and Access) Committee.
