Framed by two core questions--how poets teach public scholarship through networked media, and how to support underrepresented poets without reinforcing market-driven erasure--the collection offers videos for student and public engagement, essays for scholarly audiences, and discussion questions for classroom use. Structured around seven video dialogues and seven critical essays, the book features contributions from poet-scholars including Camea Davis, A.D. Carson, Tyrone Williams, Patrick Milian, Stevi Costa, Cameron Awkward-Rich, and Woogee Bae. Each chapter examines the material and affective economies that shape poetic production and reception, while proposing alternative, community-rooted infrastructures for literary and cultural labor. Designed for layered audiences, the video interviews model public-facing discourse, while the companion essays situate the work within critical conversations in literature, cultural theory, and media studies. With included discussion questions and open access availability, Poets as Public Scholars functions as both a teaching tool and a theoretical intervention for scholars and educators seeking to integrate anti-racist, anti-capitalist approaches to literary and digital humanities pedagogy.Sponsored by The Eugene B.

Contesting the cisgender, heterosexual, linear tropes that constitute developmentalist narratives deployed by superpowers--from colonial Britain to 20th-century America to a rising China--Cheang argues that sideways aesthetics define the narratives through which the LGBTQ+ community navigates personal and socioeconomic transitions. Through formalist analyses of a range of genres, Cheang reveals the affordances of queer and trans cultures for addressing the question of Hong Kong during its period of promised transition until 2047. In this moment of multiple crises, Sideways Developments offers a timely hermeneutic and theory of solidarity and sustainability. The book tracks how sideways aesthetics have evolved from a feature of LGBTQ+ plots, performance, and nonlinear approaches to space-time to a form of togetherness that links postcolonial Hong Kong with struggles worldwide. Using what Cheang terms intersectional formalism as an analytical tool, the book provides a multilayered examination of the alternative pathways exemplified by queer and trans resilience and regeneration.This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License.https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/Description based on information from the publisher.Sexual minoritiesChinaHong KongSocial conditions.Transgender peopleChinaHong KongSocial conditions.LGBT activismChinaHong Kong.Sexual minorities in literature.Transgender people in literature.Formalism (Literature)Transgender people in motion pictures.Sexual minorities in motion pictures.Autobiographical memory in motion pictures.Hong Kong (China)Literatures.Hong Kong (China)Social conditions.Electronic books.Michigan Publishing (University of Michigan),publisher.Global queer Asias.https://doi.org/10.3998/mpub.128778000No-worldcatRecordExternalImportMPubCataloging 03876nam a2200517 i 450010.3998/mpub.14485683MiU20260129120258.0m o d cr#unu||||||||260129t20262026miua ob 000 0 eng d9780472905935(open access ebook)0472905937(open access ebook)9780472078141(hardcover)9780472058143(paperback)10.3998/mpub.14485683doiEYMengrdapnEYMPN1990.9.H64Copeland, Stacey,authorhttps://orcid.org/0000-0002-1509-296Xhttps://ror.org/012p63287Lavender sounds :from lesbian radio to queer feminist soundwork /Stacey CopelandLesbian radio to queer feminist sound workAnn Arbor :University of Michigan Press,2026.©20261 online resource (216 pages) :illustrationstexttxtrdacontentcomputercrdamediaonline resourcecrrdacarrierIncludes bibliographical references.Introduction: Tuning the Temporal Static -- Chapter 1: Feminism and Queer Culture in Stereo: Queer Feminism and the Production of Soundwork -- Chapter 2: Being a Public Queer: On Sonic Community and Audibility Activism -- Chapter 3: Kisses through the Static: Producing a Queer Politics of Sonic Intimacy and Play -- Chapter 4: Finding Queer Soundwork: On Feminist Network Labor and Discoverability -- Epilogue: Sound Politics Across Forms and Futures -- BibliographyOpen accessAn exploration of queer feminist soundwork, connecting historical lesbian radio with modern podcasting. Stacey Copeland's Lavender Sounds delves into lesbian radio history and its evolution into queer feminist podcasting today, exploring the politics, aesthetics, and cultural activism embedded in queer feminist soundwork. Through deeply personal and archival explorations, Stacey Copeland traces the emergence of queer feminist soundwork--a unique blend of community-led storytelling, political resistance, and creative expression rooted in feminist and LGBTQ+ activism. At the heart of the book lies a powerful idea: sound is not just heard but felt, connecting generations through shared voices and struggles. In conversation with award-winning and cutting-edge queer and feminist podcast producers from across Canada and the U.S., Lavender Sounds invites us to turn a feminist embodied ear to the past to uncover the ways gender, race, and sexual orientations are embedded in our everyday media listening practices. From pioneering Canadian radio shows like Vancouver's The Lesbian Show and Montreal's Dykes on Mykes to today's queer chumcasts and audio documentary, Lavender Sounds is a journey through auditory landscapes where joy, protest, intimacy, and identity intersect. This book opens a vibrant conversation about how radio and podcasting are vital tools for marginalized communities to connect, create, and claim space in the media world.Sponsored by The Eugene B.
