Amanda Magdalena, a women’s history PhD student, has been researching the influence of evangelical religion on lesbian identity and community formation in and around the Memphis area. She’s giving a brief talk about her dissertation at the Memphis Gay & Lesbian Community Center (892 S. Cooper) on Saturday, November 1st from 2 to 5 p.m.
After her talk, Magdalena is inviting local women to share personal stories and anecdotes from their own experience to help build on the southern lesbian history she has already researched.
She’s especially interested in hearing from local lesbians who are 50 years old or older, either during the discussion or as part of an in-depth interview after the event.
