Uma Jornada Queer para uma Geografia Queer: Entrevista com Lawrence Knopp. DOI: 10.5212/Rlagg.v.2.i1.141145
No full textEm julho de 2010, a Argentina se colocou na posição de vanguarda Latino-americana no reconhecimento do direito dos casais homossexuais ao casamento civil. Além da legitimação da igualdade na esfera pública entre relações homossexuais e heterossexuais, o fato implica a subversão do caráter heteronormativo do casamento e da constituição da família, o que gera uma demanda de transformação da perspectiva de compreensão de relações sociais que regulam os laços de dependência entre as pessoas formadoras das unidades familiares. As transformações em torno da cidadania homossexual trazem desafios políticos e teóricos enfrentados por várias ciências sociais, inclusive pela Geografia. É nesse efervescente contexto que temos a honra de entrevistar Larry Knopp, um dos mais importantes geógrafos queer da contemporaneidade e incansável teórico que faz de sua prática acadêmica sobre espaço, sexualidade e cidadania também uma luta política. Larry Knopp realizou seu doutorado em Geografia pela Universidade de Lowa em 1989 e atualmente é diretor da Faculdade Interdisciplinar de Ciências e Artes da Universidade de Washington Tacoma. Larry Knopp tem como um de seus mais frequentes parceiros na produção de diversos artigos e capítulos de livros, o geógrafo Michael Brown. Juntos, têm levantado desafios que envolvem a Geografia com a justiça social, a política e a cidadania relacionadas com as sexualidades. A partir desta entrevista esperamos que as ideias de Larry Knopp se difundam pela comunidade geográfica da América Latina, de modo a estabelecer um diálogo produtivo nos mais variados lugares em que haja o interesse pela abordagem da Geografia Queer
A Queer Journey to Queer Geography: Interview with Lawrence Knopp. DOI: 10.5212/Rlagg.v.2.i1.146150
No full textSince July 2010, Argentina are the position of Latin American vanguard in recognizing the right of same sex couples to civil marriage. In addition to the legitimization of equality in the public sphere between homosexual and heterosexual, the fact implies the subversion of the heteronormative character of marriage and family formation, which creates a demand for change from the perspective of understanding of social relations that rules the bonds of dependency between people forming family units. The transformations in terms of citizenship and queer politics pose challenges to the various social sciences, including by geography. In this effervescent context that we have the honor of interviewing Larry Knopp, one of the most important geographers of contemporary queer theory, questioning what makes his practice on academic space, sexuality and citizenship also a political struggle. Larry Knopp held a doctorate in geography from the University of Iowa in 1989 and is currently director of the School Interdisciplinary Arts & Sciences at the University of Washington - Tacoma. Larry Knopp has as one of their most frequent partners in the production of numerous articles and book chapters the geographer Michael Brown. Together they have raised challenges involving the geography with social justice, politics and citizenship related to sexuality. From this interview we hope that the ideas of Larry Knopp will spread in the geographical community in Latin America, in order to establish a productive dialogue in various places where there is interest in the approach of Queer Geography

"These are the Ghettos of Washington": Public Housing and Neoliberalization in Tacoma, WA
No full textThesis (Master's)--University of Washington, 2015From 2000-2011, the Tacoma Housing Authority (THA) redeveloped a 188-acre worn down, family public housing neighborhood, into a mixed-income neighborhood. This occurred in an area with lagging private investment, and during the Great Recession. I use archival research, interviews, and discourse analysis to investigate this HOPE VI redevelopment process as an instance of actually existing neoliberalism, imbued with local specificities, including regulatory frameworks, political cultures, and housing economies. THA’s promotional literature, and the redevelopment itself produce a particular amalgam of “social justice” and “neoliberal” imaginations and practices that I call “reluctant neoliberalism.” The Tacoma Housing Authority made substantial effort to maximize the amount of low-income housing available through their public/private hybrid neighborhood, and retain property management jobs for their unionized workforce. However, THA also embraced new roles as a developer, as a shaper of self-sufficient neoliberal subjects, and as a public/private hybrid organization. New (racialized, gendered, and class) meanings of subsidized housing residence and the work of a public housing authority have been produced and materialized
On the Relationship Between Queer and Feminist Geographies
No full textDespite their diverse and contested characters, queer and feminist geographies have much in common historically, theoretically, empirically, and politically. Following a brief discussion of their connections and divergences, I discuss the distinctive contributions of queer geographies and their potential, in continuing conversation and alliance with feminist geographies, to enliven and enrich geographical inquiry more broadly. I focus particularly on the potential of feminist-inspired and allied queer geographies to rethink a variety of spatial (and other) ontologies, including space, place, placelessness, movement, gender, homophobias and heterosexisms, generational cultures, and cultural politics
Transgender Vulnerabilities: State Issued Identity Documents and Third Gender Options
No full textMaster of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies (MAIS)Until recently the power to classify people by gender in the U.S. resided exclusively with the state and federal governments, both of which previously used the two binary gender options, female and male, and no others. Since 2017 this has begun to change as more states and cities have begun making third gender options available to those who do not identify as either. This represents a step forward towards greater acceptance of transgender, and particularly nonbinary identities within society. It is revolutionary in how the state administers "sex designations," along with your name as the foundation of an individual's legal identity in society. Trans people in both private and public spaces have to prove who they are as well as correct wrong assumptions, at times exposing themselves to public humiliation, exclusion, marginalization and even violence. These everyday situations give private citizens the power to analyze and pronounce judgment on everyone's identity acting as agents of the state. How do third gender options work, how did we get here and what does this mean for the ongoing debate about gender and how it relates to identity politics, public policy, feminist and queer theory

Living With Loss In the Anthropocene
No full textMaster of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies (MAIS)Heatedly contested at various points in its development, climate change discourse is at once a political and social issue, an environmental and ecological issue, and a physical and mental health issue. Less attention has been paid to the latter. During her work with the terminally ill, Kübler-Ross (2005) outlined 5 stages of grief: anger, denial, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. That outline is now seen as analogous to the feelings that we may have towards issues of climate change, e.g., the real and perceived loss of ecosystem services, as well as uncertainty in regard to the future of humanity. With that in mind, I created The Anthropocene Adventurer magazine. Conceptualized as a visual and emotional response to climate change, The Anthropocene Adventurer magazine was developed to stimulate climate change communication. The Anthropocene Adventurer magazine grapples with the question, "What does one do when climate change hits home?
