We're so excited to be joined by Dr. Jack Gieseking, author of A Queer New York: Geographies of Lesbians, Dykes, and Queers (2020). Jack researches the intersections of critical urban and digital geographies, and feminist and queer theory.
Here's a brief blurb about his book: Over the past few decades, rapid gentrification in New York City has led to the disappearance of many lesbian and queer spaces, displacing some of the most marginalized members of the LGBTQ+ community. In A Queer New York, Jen Jack Gieseking highlights the historic significance of these spaces, mapping the political, economic, and geographic dispossession of an important, thriving community that once called certain New York neighborhoods home.
