Academic Outlaws
Queer Theory and Cultural Studies in the Academy


Other Titles in:
Gay & Lesbian Studies

March 1997 | 216 pages | SAGE Publications, Inc
Scholarly yet provocatively written, Academic Outlaws presents a discussion of how life in the academic world is experienced by gay men and lesbian women. Using a narrative style that mixes autobiography, case study data and fiction, William G Tierney provides timely insight into the challenges gays and lesbians face in higher education and proposes an alternative process for redefining long-established cultural norms.
