An art historian whose research emphasizes cultural studies, gay and lesbian
studies, and the ongoing cultural debate over sexuality and gender, censorship and
the public sphere, Richard Meyer is associate professor of modern and contemporary
art at the University of Southern California. He is the recipient of the 2003
Charles Eldredge Prize for Outlaw Representation: Censorship and Homosexuality
in Twentieth Century American Art and editor of Representing the Passions:
Histories, Bodies, Visions.
In "Gay Power Circa 1970: Visual Strategies for Sexual Revolution," Meyer will
consider the visual politics of the emerging US gay and lesbian movements during
the civil rights era by focusing specifically on the visual strategies of lesbian
artists and on "effeminism," an early 1970s movement of gay male liberationists
who took up feminist ideas.
