This week we talk with Sé Sullivan, an adjunct professor at UC Berkeley and Mills College and a child participant of the UCLA gender identity research clinic from 1963-1994 who discovered their personal file and turned it into a fascinating dissertation. Sé discusses with us the history of the word queer, living in the AIDS era, being a part of the pro-sex movement, and the importance of decentering whiteness in the queer community and queer dialogue.
