A note with the cassette: "Interview with Dorothee in Berlin November 1991."
Scope and content
This is a sound recording of an interview with Carolyn Gammon and Dorothee [?] in Berlin, November 1991. Carolyn discusses Lesbian studies, including the creation of a lesbian studies coalition on campus, as well as the institutionalization and offering of lesbian studies courses at Concordia University [Montreal]. Topics discussed include difficulties and pushback encountered; budget; effects of uniquely non-heterosexual perspective; issues in finding professors due to exclusionary criteria and finding alternatives; student reactions to courses; homophobic academic pushback; confronting academic racism; lesbian studies at other Canadian universities; the Coalition of Lesbian Studies, its members and their work, including mistakes made and seeking out new course offerings for Lesbians of colour; distinguishing lesbian studies from gay and queer studies. [There is a pause between A and B sides of the tape 00:46:07 to 00:46:12]. The discussion continues about lesbian studies and the separation from gay studies, with Gammon stating that the argument for the separation of women's studies could also be applied to lesbian studies.
