Privacy and the LGBT+ Experience: Victorian Past, Digital Future - Episode 83 - The Oxford Comment by Oxford Academic (OUP) published on 2023-05-22T14:21:04Z Scholars continue to explore the role of sexuality in private lives—from the retrospective discovery of transgendered people in historical archives to present questions of identity and representation in social media—with the understanding that those who identify as LGBTQ+ have always existed and have fought tirelessly to advance their rights. On today's episode of The Oxford Comment, we discuss LGBTQ+ privacy through both historical and contemporary lenses. First, Simon Joyce, the author of "LGBT Victorians: Sexuality and Gender in the Nineteenth-Century Archives," shared his argument for revisiting Victorian-era thinking about gender and sexual identity. We then interviewed Stefanie Duguay, the author of "Personal but Not Private: Queer Women, Sexuality, and Identity Modulation on Digital Platforms," who spoke with about digitally mediated identities and how platforms, such as social media and dating apps, act as complicated sites of transformation.
