2002: Carlos Decena is a PhD candidate in American Studies at New York University. His dissertation, “Across Generations of Immigrant Men: Same Sex Relations from the Dominican Republic to Nueva York, 1966-2000,” studies the transnational factors at work in Dominican men’s perception of and participation in same sex relations. He is Program Director of Project LEO (Latinos Empowering Ourselves) at the HIV Center for Clinical and Behavioral Studies, and has a forthcoming article, “Intention to Notify Sexual Partners About Potential HIV Exposure Among New York City STD Clinics’ Clients,” in the Journal of Sexually Transmitted Diseases. Honorable Mentions Jasmine Mir is a doctoral student in the Department of History at New York University with a dual focus in American History and Gender and Sexuality Studies. She is currently at work on her dissertation, “Global Pathways/Local Markets: Sex Tourism, Contested Space, Historical Memory and Constructions of ‘Sexual Deviance’ in New Orleans, 1880-1917,” and on a forthcoming article, “The Sexual Politics of Urban Displacement: Transsexual Sex Workers and New York City’s Meatpacking District, 1997-2002.” 2001: Manolo Guzman is a PhD candidate in Sociology at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. His dissertation seeks to explore the relationship between culture and anal eroticism, especially as it relates to HIV infection and Puerto Rican gay men, to develop a culturally affirmative model that will ultimately lead to alternative HIV prevention strategies targeting this population and other Latino gay men. Guzman is also an adjunct lecturer in the Sociology Department of Hunter College. Honorable Mentions Patrick McCreery is a doctoral student in American Studies at New York University. His dissertation examines Anita Bryant's 1977 campaign to oveturn gay rights law in Dade County, Florida. His analysis argues that politicians and activists invoke threats to children to further their agendas. He also hopes to contribute to the largely uncritiqued discourse of child endangerment. He was co-editor of Out at Work: Building a Gay-Labor Alliance (University of Minnesota, 2001). |
