"Engaging Queer Rhetorics: Arch ive, Field, and Engagement in the Queer Memory Project of Northern Color ado"

Current scholarly conversations have produced possib ilities at the intersections of queer rhetorics and engaged communi ty research. Along one trajectory, Communication Studies and adjacent disciplines have witnessed a veritable explosion of interest, innovation, and capacity in the study of que er subjects, methods, and orientations over the last two-decades.&n bsp;Meanwhile, assumptions about how scholars and researc her in these fields do and share their work—via archival crea tion, digital humanities, public scholarship and outreach, and rhetorical field methods, among others—has swiftly come unde r reconsideration, gripping the attention of many while also raisin g earnest questions from others about what constitutes &l dquo;scholarship” and how we account for it. Bringi ng these two conversations together presents compelling opportunities.&n bsp;At their intersection in my own work is the Queer Memory Projec t of Northern Colorado (http://www.qmpnoco.org) &mdash ;an educational and community project that works to discover and preserv e the LGBTQ+ past of the Northern Colorado region and communicates that past to audiences in meaningful ways for social, cultural, and political change. Using my experiences as founder and director of QMP—as we ll as a scholar whose training and career has followed mo re traditional routes—this talk considers the opportunities and challenges of “engaging” rhetori cal scholarship, particularly in and with queer communities, a nd what these engaged research opportunities can offer to publ ic audiences, future scholars and teachers, and the discipline.&nbs p;
