The Lesbian Project BU

💜It’s here!💜 “The Myth of Lesbian Generation Loss: Finding Intergenerational Solidarities in Digital Sexual Selfhood Projects” is out now in @JournalLesbian. Will have a pre-print copy online soon, but in the meantime you can find it here (or by DM)! doi.org/10.1080/10894160.202…

Could not be more thrilled and proud that the latest lesbian project publication has been accepted for publication in @SignsJournal, hopefully for their special issue on Lesbian Studies, Now! 😭

💜💜💜

Just came across a particularly fascinating example of how—as we discuss in this @JournalLesbian article—comphet is often phrased in these diagnostic, almost medicalized terms in the online debates over who can “have” it!

🚨 🚨“The Myth of Lesbian Generation Loss: Finding Intergenerational Solidarities in Digital Sexual Selfhood Projects”: Our very first publication—a deep dive on lesbian TikTok!—is officially forthcoming in @JournalLesbian!! 💜 🏳️‍⚧️ 💜🚨🚨

A reminder as we continue to amble toward the potential demise of Twitter: To keep up with all things Lesbian Project—not to be confused the Other 🙄 Lesbian Project—bookmark lesbianproject.us! 💜 🏳️‍⚧️ 💜

Also, if you want to learn more about our fave new book, Lesbian Death by Mairead Sullivan, check out our friend and colleague Clare Forstie’s new review!

Sounds fascinating, can’t wait to read! ❤️

“While on the surface it may appear that one can be pro-lesbian and anti-trans, the validity of this stance comes into question with the most superficial of interrogation.” 🙌🏻

Should Twitter actually go bust this time, follow The (real) Lesbian Project & sign up to receive news, updates, and calls for participants here: caticonnell.com/lesbian. TBD on a new social media space, will let you know! (And if not, it’s lesbian business as usual over here 😂)

Sociologist scholars, take note!

If you, like us, are obsessed with lesbian obsolescence anxieties and how they are expressed/leveraged in the current political moment—this is ESSENTIAL reading. And remarkably accessible to non-academic audiences while deeply interrogating academic ideas! upress.umn.edu/book-division…

God I still remember seeing this cover wheat pasted all over the Lower East Side more than 20 years ago… 👵🏻! Iconic.

This looks so interesting, looking forward!

This is SUCH a satisfying thread on lesbian feminism’s complex relationship to the idea of “woman” and its relationship to lesbianism, high high key recommend! A very useful, easily digestible, really smart primer on the subject.

Ah, yes, the Joanna Cherry who accidentally tweeted her support for the wrong lesbian project, putting our trans inclusive/affirming research in front of 1000s of new eyes. Excited to collect new data on trans lesbian love, joy, & community this fall, all thanks to you, JC! 🤡😘

We’ll be talking lesbians and more! 😻

Still on a work break for another week or so, but just had to pop in to say….❤️❤️❤️

By contrast, The BU Lesbian Project does very happily advocate on behalf of all kinds of lesbians, my friends! Welcome! 💜💜💜💜
