Queer Man on Campus: A History of Non-heterosexual College Men, 1945-2000

Front Cover
Psychology Press, 2002 - Education - 246 pages
Through intensive interview and research, Queer Man on Campus reveals the inadequacy of a unified "gay" identity in studying the lives of queer college men. Instead, as Dilley shows, seven distinct types of identities are discernible in the lives of non-heterosexual college males between World War II and the close of the millennium. Dilley traces the development of these identities through the stories of current and former students, illuminating the historical and contextual factors that affect their formation. By situating these types of "non-heterosexuality" as variable and fluid, Dilley offers a new perspective on queer collegiate life.
