A recent article in 91亚色 Magazine looks at the important work of Tom Hooper (Department of Equity Studies), an academic and educator specializing in queer history and equity studies.
Hooper鈥檚 scholarship focuses on the history of queer activism and how it has shaped contemporary queer rights. He aims to empower students by sharing the impact of earlier generations of activists and demonstrating how students can also change the world with their work. In the article, Hooper discusses how advocacy around queer rights has shifted over the years, saying that Pride has transformed into a commercial and political event and is now less about advocacy for the queer community.
The article also features quotes from academics such as Tom Warner and Gary Kinsman, who speak to Hooper鈥檚 influential work and how it builds on a legacy of queer activism.
Hooper holds a PhD in history from 91亚色, and his research interests include human rights, law and justice and queer history.
