Dr. Emily Johnson and Silas Hansen combined interdisciplinary approaches from Creative Writing and History to explore the complex world of “Queer storytelling” (through traditional stories and histories as well as art, fashion, mutual aid, and more.) Students contributed to the ongoing Muncie LGBTQ+ History project, conducting oral history interviews with community members and sharing those stories in creative ways. They also contributed their own ideas and artwork to a multimedia showcase at the end of the semester. This immersed visitors in queer stories through narrative, performance, art, and artifacts.
