Queer Listening Publics

Here is my interview regarding the exhibition I worked on at the Wing Luke Asian Museum, "Across the Spectrum: Stories from Queer Asian Pacific America." For those who want to get involved with Winter Quarter's Tea Time and readings, this will give you an idea of the exhibition (we're planning a joint public program with the Museum in conjunction with this exhibition):

Also, listening to it, I'm curious if anyone else has thoughts about how to talk about queer projects in the public sphere. That is to say, my read about queer scholarship and arts projects is that they're rather esoteric and jargony. Moreover, my sense is that much of the queer "stuff" that's out there doesn't speak to everyday practices as well as it could. How should we approach public discourse about queer practices so that it both 'queers' the discourse and meets the general public where they are at, such as, talking about "gay" or "lesbian" people versus "queer"?

Thanks!
