LGBT RC Intern Alumni Reflections: The Ins and Outs
Haley Ausserer, Intern Class 2001-2002
 I volunteered and subsequently interned at the LGBTRC from 2001-2002. I was there when Shaun was hired, and what an exciting time that was! I worked with members of QPOC to coordinate two Generation Q youth conferences, visiting high schools all over the San Diego area to recruit attendees. With my passion for reading and LGBT history, I also made it a personal priority to grow our library. My experiences with the wonderful people I met through the LGBTRC are my favorite memories from the time I spent at UCSD. I learned so much about community organizing, effective communication, and being a responsible and respectful white ally from the amazing people with whom I had the great fortune to collaborate.

UCSD Library New LGBT Resource
Queer Masculinities: A Critical Reader in Education
 Queer Masculinities: A Critical Reader in Education is a new book that is a substantial addition to the discussion of queer masculinities, of the interplay between queer masculinities and education, and to the political gender discourse as a whole. Enriching the discourse of masculinity politics, the cross-section of scholarly interrogations of the complexities and contradictions of queer masculinities in education demonstrates that any serious study of masculinity-hegemonic or otherwise-must consider the theoretical and political contributions that the concept of queer masculinity makes to a more comprehensive and nuanced understanding of masculinity itself.
You can read this e-book here: http://roger.ucsd.edu:80/record=b7246966~S9 and remember, the UCSD Library has many books on issues that you care about!!!
