Description
Under the direction of Isabel Folck
Through a mixed physical and digital media, a non-linear picture of a continued queer legacy at Hollins University. The ever evolving and changing timeline of queer history in the United States with a focus on issues directly relating to Hollins University and its legacy allows multi-generational connections to be drawn leading from the 20th century gender non-conforming Cotillion Club to the mid to late 2010s changing narratives surrounding historical women’s colleges in debates of undergraduate transgender student admission. Using photographs and artifacts relating to the Hollins Darlings from the Hollins archives, alongside a digital libguide for queer studies materials available at the Wyndham Robertson Library, a framework for continued studies of queer history and its impact on Hollins University’s legacy can be upheld and updated as needed.
