Texts of our Institutional Lives: From Transaction to Transformation: (En)Countering White Heteronormativity in “Safe Spaces”

Abstract

On various campuses, including the author’s, “safe space” stickers are used to designate offices supposedly free of homophobia. The author critiques this practice, pointing out that it still privileges the white heterosexual subject while also obscuring connections between sexuality, gender, and race.
