Jes Battis is assistant professor of English at the University of Regina, Saskatchewan.
In essays filled with personal insight and theoretical rigor,
Homofiles introduces us to a new generation of queer graduate
students. This book proves once again how much LGBT studies has to
say not just about the unequal power relations endemic in academia,
but the intersections of race, gender, sexuality, and embodiment we
grapple with daily.
*Sarah E. Chinn, director of the Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies
at the Graduate Center at CUNY*
Provocative, original, and moving. With this new book, Battis has
assembled the next generation of scholars who are troubling the
soul of queer studies.
*Kevin Kumashiro, author of The Seduction of Common Sense: How the
Right has Framed the Debate on America's Schools*
