What	Fighting Historical Silences: Oral History and the Power of Queer Western Histories
Info	The cowboy icon which emerged over the twentieth century has been used as a bludgeon of oppression. Imagined as white, male, and heterosexual "the cowboy" became a symbol of belonging (and not belonging) in the American consciousness. The Gay Rodeo Oral History Project seeks to reject that image through the lived experiences of people who identify as both LGBTQ+ and as cowfolx. This talk will explore the power of narrative to undermine exclusionary histories, providing fuller, more nuanced, understandings of our region.	Capacity: 300 Seats Left: 263
