The Vital Perspectives on Healthcare and Science series engages with some of the most pressing public health issues of our time, in a regular public forum catalyzed by a book. We\u2019ve got a crucially important Baltimore-based book to celebrate this week! Co-sponsored by the JHU Program for the Study of Women, Gender, and Sexuality<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This event will feature Dr. Mary Zaborskis<\/a>, author of , author of Queer Childhoods: Institutional Futures of Indigeneity, Race, and Disability<\/em><\/a><\/em>, with Dr. Jules Gill-Peterson<\/a> joining in conversation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tracing the US\u2019s investment in disciplining minoritarian sexualities since the late nineteenth century, Mary Zaborskis focuses on a ubiquitous but understudied figure: the queer child. Queer Childhoods<\/em> examines the lived and literary experiences of children who attended reform schools, schools for the blind, African American industrial schools, and Native American boarding schools. In mapping the institutional terrain of queer childhoods in educational settings of the late nineteenth- and twentieth-century, the book offers an original archive of children\u2019s sexual and embodied experiences.

Zaborskis argues that these boarding schools\u2014designed to segregate racialized, criminalized, and disabled children from mainstream culture\u2014produced new forms of childhood. These childhoods have secured American futures in which institutionalized children (and the adults they become) have not been considered full-fledged citizens or participants. By locating this queerness in state archives and institutions, Queer Childhoods<\/em> exposes a queer social history entangled with genocide, eugenics, and racialized violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
