Professor lectures
on LGBT issues in justice System
BY RACHEL MATUSZEWSKI
RMA TUSZEWSK/@LANTHORN.COM
On Tuesday, April 3,
Carrie Buist, assistant pro. fessor in the school of criminal justice, spoke to Grand
Valley State University students on her co-authored
book "Queer Criminology:'
Buist's original research was
on policing, but through her ·
interviews she learned many
of her participants identified
as lesbian. Her interest from
these encounters marked the
shift in her focus on LGBTQ
issues within the criminal justice system. Buist stressed to
the audience that there are numerous issues members of the
LGBTQIA or "queer" community must face on a daily basis.
Crimonology, which asks
why people commit a crime,
is answered through a ntimber
of platforms. Buist said mainstream criminology is research
done by, for and about white
males. Critical criminology was
developed by college students
in California who focused on
class and race. Feminist criminologists said gender was the
number-one predictor of crime
and researched the experiences
had by both girls and women.
Buist asked students how
they identified themselves. Students' answers were athlete and
male or female. She then asked
BREAKING DOWN THE ISSUES. Carrie Buist, GVSU professor of criminal justice, lectures during the 'Queer Criminology' event on Tuesday, April 3. Buist lectured on the issues
that LGBT individuals face on both sides of the criminal justice system, being prisoners or officers, such as discrimination and misrepresentation. GVL I DYLAN MCINTYRE
students how they would feel
if they were arrested for these
qualities. Through this example, she explained that sometimes people who identify as .
queer are arrested for no reason
other than who they are.
"Queer criminology examines the experiences of
LGBTQ folks as victims, offenders apd criminal legal
professionals;' Buist said.
The remainder of Buist's
discussion was about the unfair
arrests individuals who identify
as LGBTQIA experienced. She
reminded students of incidents
such as the arrest oflesbians for
dressing in a traditionally masculine way in 1957, transgenders taking part in the Stonewall riots of 1969 against the
police and a gay club that was
detained by police in Highland
Park, Michigan, in 2003.
Another issue Buist discussed was bills that dictate
who can use which restrooms.
Although these laws were put
in motion to protect others
from inappropriate behavior,
Buist said there have been
more issues with politicians
sexually assaulting people in
public bathrooms and none
regarding transgenders.
"(I want students to know)
the greater understanding of
the issues that LGBTQ folks
face:• Buist said. "The more we
know, the more we can move
towards not only tolerance but
acceptance and justice:'
As a student who identifies as queer and a millennial
who is regularly flooded with
similar stories on her social
media feed, Lucretia Dunlap
was familiar with a few of the
cases Buist described.
"I (think) hearing about
the inequalities (queer students face) would make
(students who do not identify as queer) confront the
truth;' Dunlap said. "I hope
(the examples we learned)
would bring (this topic) to
their attention (to see) just
how unequal it is."

Professor to lecture on queer criminology
BY ITA TSAI
ITSA/@LANTHORN.COM
The Milton E. Ford LGBT
Resource Center at Grand Valley State University has organized a talk on queer criminology that will take place Tuesday,
April 3, at 4 p.m. in the Kirkhof
Center, Room 2266.
"Queer Criminology: Examining the Experiences of
the LGBTQ Population as
Victims, Offenders and Professionals in the Criminal Legal System'' will be presented
by Carrie Buist, an assistant
professor in GVSU's School
of Criminal Justice.
Buist co-authored the
book "Queer Criminology"
with Emily Lenning, and
she has published articles
in several journals. She has
focused her studies on LGBTQ experiences within
the criminal legal system, ·
such as transgender issues
in prison and transgender
victims and offenders.
Buist's research interests
include the experiences of
LGBTQ individuals in the
criminal legal system, but
she also follows issues such
as women in policing, worn-
en in prison, media, crime
and culture. Advocating
as a feminist, she aims to
highlight the experiences of
marginalized populations.
"The research that we have
done within the discipline on
queer criminology focuses on
turning our attention to the
LGBTQ individual experiences
as victims, offenders and professionals within the criminal
legal system;' Buist said. "We ·
are talking about those experiences on different levels.
''I'll turn the discussion
and focus on how gender
or sexual identities have
historically been criminalized throughout the world,
not only in the U.S. Then,
I'll turn the discussion towards policing courts and
corrections, looking at
LGBT individuals as victims, offenders and professionals working.
Queer criminology is research that focuses on the
lived experiences of LGBTQ
individuals as victims, offenders and professionals
within the criminal legal or
criminal justice system.

GV 'Out List' promotes solidarity to LGBT youth
BY TY KONELL
TKONELL @LANTHORN.COM
Whether it is finding community among peers or cultivating a mentorship, connections
based on common ground and
lived experiences play a significant role in gaining comfort in
one's personal identity.
For this reason, Grand
Valley State University has
created an "Out List;' a collection · of faculty and staff
who openly identify as part
of the LGBT community.
Officials in the Milton E.
Ford LGBT Resource Center
said the list can be used as a
source of empowerment for
GVSU students who identify
within the community looking
forward into professional life.
"It's important for LGBTQIA college students to see
themselves in the professional
world;' said Marla Wick, assistant director in the center. "The
Out List is comprised of people
who are actively modeling what
it means to be out about their
identities in the workplace:'
The list may operate as a
means of forming a sense of
comradery and personal safety
for LGBT students entering the
post-collegiate working world.
"The LGBTQIA faculty
and staff listed in the Out List
model for students the possibility and reality of being an
openly out professional;' said
Jen Hsu-Bishop, director of
the LGBT Center. .
Both Wick and Hsu-Bishop related its importance
to a lack of state-mandated
protections for people in the
workplace who identify within the community.
"LGBTQIA college students
have to think about how and
whether to be out in the workplace, depending on a number
of factors and beginning with
considerations of personal safety,' Wick said. "The Out List
provides these students, as well
as other faculty and staff, with
a visible community of people,
many of whom will have navigated similar experiences:'
A collaboration between
the GVSU Division of Inclusion and Equity and the
LGBT Faculty and Staff Association, the Out Li1>t may
strengthen the message of inclusion on GVSU's campus.
"The list reflects and aligns
with GVSU's commitment to
identifying and eliminating
barriers to recruit and retain
diverse students, faculty and
staff," Hsu-Bishop said. "The
Out List highlights and makes
visible the many LGBTQIA
professionals who are part of
the diverse fabric of our ·university's community:'
Although the GVSU Out
List is not the first to be created on a college campus, it
is said to offer the potential
to become a source of community and perceptibility on
other campuses state-wide
and across the country.
"Such lists have existed at
other campuses across the
nation for some time. But,
again, one of the challenges
our community faces is visibility;' Wick said.

GV observes Transgender
Day of Remembrance
'
'
Author, historian Susan St ryker sp eaks on camp us for event
BY TY KONELL
LAKERLIFE@LANTHORN.COM
Grand Valley State University celebrated Transgender Day of Remembrance on
Monday, Nov. 13. To highlight the national holiday,
Susan Stryker was brought in
by the Milton E. Ford LGBT
Resource Center to give a
keynote lecture on transgen der issues and history.
Stryker, whose lecture
began at 4 p.m., was introduced by assistant professor Cael Keegan of the
liberal studies and women,
gender and sexuality studies departments. Having
known Stryker before her
visit to GVSU, Keegan was
a natural can didate to give
her introduction.
Keegan said he was
greatly
influenced
by
Stryker's work and was
grateful for her role as a
mentor in his life.
"It's not often that you're
given the opportunity to
introduce someone with out whose work your own
would not exist;' Keegan
said. "Susan's work and
mentorship has not only
been invaluable to me but
has been the very precondition for my intellectual life:'
Highlighting the meaning and reason behind
Transgender Day of Remembrance, Keegan spoke
in his introduction about
the role memory plays in
remembering transgender
lives that were lost too early.
''A remembrance is an op-
portunity to think carefully
about the work of memory
and what it can do-how we
might want to use it, change
it, share in it;' Keegan said.
"To reorganize our collec-

about the role of memory,
Keegan said Transgender
Day of Remembrance can
also be a space for theorizing what our country and
world would look like if
transgender people were
not lost at the rate in which
they currently are.
"Transgender Day of Remembrance is a time during
which we traditionally mark
the premature loss of trans-
gender lives due to violence;'

GV students hold 'Art Is a
Drag' exhibit in libr.ary space
BY TY KONELL
LAKERLIFE@LANTHORN.COM .
Since the popularization of
the television show "RuPaul's
Drag Race:' the culture surrounding drag queens and
drag kings has come into
mainstream light. From its
beginnings as an LGBTQ
subcultural community hidden from the eyes of society,
drag has come a long :way.
For Grand Valley State
University students Rachel
Britton and Kaylee Britton,
drag has become not only
a source of performance
and entertainment but a
source of artistic expression
as well. Highlighting this,
their exhibit ''Art Is a Drag:
The Library Is Open" is being held in the Mary Idema
Pew Library's Exhibition
Space from Saturday, Nov.
4, to Wednesday, Nov. 29.
The name "The Library
Is Open" is a double entendre as the p hr ase is popular
in the drag community and
also highlights the location
of the exhibit.
"Reading is a type of subcultural
communication
wherein you reveal to someone that something they're
doing is displeasing to you
through a punny or snarky
comment;' said Jae Basiliere,
professor of women, gender
and sexuality studies and an
expert on drag culture. "So,
it's a very underhanded and
funny way of stating that
GREEN QUEEN: This piece, 'Swamp Witch,' is inspired by voodoo and the South. This piece can be
viewed in the Mary Idema Pew Libra ry's Exh ibition Space. COURTESY I RACHEL BRITTON.PHOTOGRA.et:IY -
displeasure very common
among drag performers.
When someone delivers a really good 'zing: 'The Library
Is Open' is a way to talk about
that particularly good read?'
For Kaylee Britton, who
uses they/them pronouns,
drag culture has been an interest since their early teen
years. They said from the time
they were in middle school,
they have had a dream of performing as a drag queen.
"I found drag in eighth
grade, and I don't remember
how I initially came across it; I
just remember in middle school
I found it and I just latched
right onto it:' said Kaylee Britton, a professional drag queen
and founder of the exhibit. "I
was like, 'Oh, yeah. I'm doing
that one day. This is awesome?
So every Halloween I would get
dressed in drag, not very good,
but Io get dressed up.
'J\nd then when I got here

is set to be open Saturday, Nov. 4, to Wednesday, Nov. 29. COURTESY I RACHEL BRITTON PHOTOGRAPHY
(to GVSU) and found out
about the amateur drag show, I
was like, 'Yes. That is on my calendar. I'm doing that one day."'
For drag performers, inspiration comes from pop culture,
cult-favorite films and other
media, and from seeing what
other performers are doing.
''.As we expand, I want to
learn more about character
building:' said Rachel Britton, photographer and one
of the models in the exhibit.
"When you see the pieces
Kaylee has, all the different
characters they have done,
for me I want to build upon
my character as · well as ex pand upon other characters:'
Moreover, Kaylee Britton
a
en
e are doing
drag, it is more than simply
qoing intricate makeup artistry. It's creating an entirely
different person.
"It's a whole new person that
we just happen to paint on ourselves:' Kaylee Britton said.
Historically, as drag started
as ~ underground community of LGBTQ people, doing
drag was not considered an
art form, which is what ''Art
Is a Drag" is trying to change.
"I think Rachel and Kaylee's
work is so, so cool;' Basiliere
said. "Historically, drag has
really existed in subcultural
spaces. It's something we see in
dark bars at night, and so their
project of bringing drag into
the light and drawing attention
to what drag performers do can
be considered high art is really
exciting and really innovative?'

professors to the quality of food on campus, and
answer questions about their experiences and
campus life.
LGBT Resource Center
to celebrate anniversary
The 2017-2018 academic year marks the
10-year anniversary of the creation of Grand
Valley's Milton E. Ford LGBT Resource Center.
Celebratory events are planned in October
for the center, which opened in 2007. It was
named posthumously for its founding director
and professor ofliberal studies, Milt Ford, who
worked at Grand Valley for more than 40 years.
Ford died in 2014.
Two events are planned and both are free and
open to the campus community and public.
An event on October 17 will run from
6-7:30 p.m. at the Eberhard Center. Remarks
will be made by current students, alumni and
Gary Van Harn, budget manager and assistant
for the Padnos International Center, who
was Ford's partner. He has led the Allies &
Advocates program and is the founder of the
GVSU Faculty-StaffLGBT Scholarship.
The second event will include community
members and is set for October 18 from 6-9 p.m.
at Creston Brewery in Grand Rapids. The
brewery will donate proceeds made that day to
the center's action fund.
Jen Hsu-Bishop, director of the LGBT Center,
said the center has grown t.remendo_usly
through the years. The growth includes three
endowed scholarships, an annual event that
features a nationally renowned speaker, ar1d
student engagement and support programs that
reach hundreds of students every year.
"Ten years ago, there was a real need for
a center to support students in the LGBT
community," Hsu-Bishop said. "Since then,
we've positioned ourselves to be leaders, and
have established valuable relationships with
people on campus and in the West Michigan
community."

Grand Rapids Pride Fest to celebrate LGBTQ community
BY TY KONELL
LAKERLIFE@LANTHORN.COM
To commemorate June
being LGBT Pride Month,
the annual Grand Rapids
Pride Festival will be held
to honor and celebrate the
greater LGBTQ community.
There will be no fee to enter
the festival Saturday, June 17,
in downtown Grand Rapids.
The event, which will go from
noon to midnight, will feature
a selection of vendors and
booths, as well as music and
live drag performances.
The festival means different things to different people
who attend, although the
event serves the main pur-
r
pose of allowing the LGBTQ
community to express itself
surrounded by people who
appreciate that expression.
"Pride is fundamentally
about honoring and celebrat,ing LGBTQIA+ history while
calling attention to the ongoing and changing needs of
queer and trans people;' said
Marla Wick, assistant director of the Grand Valley State
University Milton E. Ford
LGBT Resource Center.
Wick said pride events are
a place to put explicit attention
on the LGBT community and
the issues its members face.
"Pride always feels like a
party, and for good reason,
but it's simultaneously about
POWER ENT The LGBTQ community encourages one another
to express themselves. COURTESY I EXPERIENCE GRAND RAPIDS
LGBTQIA+ people making themselves visible to the
broader community and
speaking up about ongoing
threats, injustices and accomplishments:' Wick said.
Furthermore, Wick said
visibility aids people in the
community by giving them
an insight into their history
as a community.
. "Pride celebrations are important because they create
both a vibrant link with our
history and a space of visibility and celebration:' Wick said.
"People can come together
and really see the strength and
beauty of this community.''
Members of the LGBT
community regard pride
events as a source of healing
after heartbreaking events.
''.After the Pulse nightclub
shooting in Orlando last year, a
lot of us were afraid to go to gay
clubs and even pride festivals:'
said Tia Danes, a Grand Rapids resident who is planning
to attend the festival. "Coming
into this year, though, I want to
celebrate in memory of the victims of the attack. I feel so honored to be a part of the queer
community and have this huge
family that mourns' and celebrates together:'
Wick said GVSU's presence at the festival is an
important reminder of the
work the university does.
"The LGBT Resource Center has a presence at Grand
Rapids Pride every year, spearheaded by our friends in the
LGBT Alumni Chapter:' Wick
said. "Having GVSU be a visible and supportive ·presence
at Pride upholds our commitment to creating welcoming
and inclusive campuses for students, faculty and staff'
For those who attend
events during Pride Month,
seeing the celebration of
their identities can be an
empowering experience.
"The first parade I went to
was in Buffalo, New York, and
I just remember the thrill of
seeing queer and trans people
being out and gorgeous and
loud;' Wick said. "This is a
powerful thing for a community that is often subject
to tremendous pressure to be
small, quiet and invisible:'
Pride Month events can
also be filled with emotion
for those in attendance.
"Going to Pride for me
is about feeling connected
with my people again, seeing
all of these people unapologetic about who they are
and who they love:' Danes
said. "It's very touching, like,
move you to tears touching:'

INCLUSION
Student senate meeting covers
hu~ger, LGBT visibility on campus
BY ANNE MARIE SMIT
NEWS@LANTHORN.COM
MEETING: Student senate meets for its weekly general assembly on Thursday, Nov. 9. On Thursday, Nov. 30, student senate
discussed food insecurity for students on campus as well as visibility for LGBT community members. GVL I MATT READ
As part of the Grand Valley State
- University student senate's general
assembly on Thursday, Nov. 30, the
senators provided minutes from a
conference some of them had attended and welcomed two guest speakers
who discussed student hunger on
campus and LGBTQIA+ visibility.
Sharalle Arnold, the associate
director of the Gayle R. Davis Center for Women and Gender Equity
(CWGE), shared a report from the·
College and University Food Bank
Alliance, which found that one in
three students on college campuses
are hungry, compared to one in seven people in the U.S. as a whole.
The number of students who have
visited Replenish, the food pantry at
GVSU, has risen over the last couple
of years, Arnold said, necessitating a
larger space for the food bank. The
last academic year alone totaled more
than 900 visits. Access to affordable,
healthy food is crucial for student
success at GVSU, Arnold said.
"I really think it's important to urge
you all to consider the connection
between academic achievement and
adequate nutrition;' she said. "When
you're hungry, it's going to impede
your ability to engage in your education. The very fact that food is inaccessible to a large number of our students
undermines the very notion of why
we are here gathered in the academy,
which is to pursue an education:'
Arnold pointed out that manyfirstgeneration students, low-income students and students of color are not getting the nutrition they need. She asked
the senate to help Replenish expand
its food bank into a larger space. Its
current location, Kirkhof 0074, is not
large enough for the food and services
they would like to provide.
"I would ask you to consider the
disproportionate number of first-generation students, low-income students
and students of color that experience
hunger on this campus;' she said. "I
would ask you to consider, fan the
flames with me, get the conversation
going, offer the support that the ad-

ministrator in Replenish needs
for a Replenish expansion:'
Arnold suggested that
one way to tackle hunger on
campus would be for GVSU
to offer the possibility of a
low- or no-cost meal plan
for eligible students.
"I would ask you to help
me as I am trying to fan the
flames around conversations
regarding low- or no-cost meal
plans for our self-eligible students:' she said. "I would ask
you to consider the high cost
of food on campus. Food is a
basic right. It should not be that
some families are prioritized
and some families have easier
access than others.
'J\ll of our students need to
eat; all of our students need access to healthy food:'
From there, Jen Hsu-Bishop, director of the Milton E.
Ford LGBT Resource Center,
shared the center's efforts to
make GVSU a welcoming place
for LGBTQIA+ students, especially in light of the violence
and hostility that some of these
students experience on campuses across the country.
Over the last l0years, GVSU
has grown in LGBTQIA+ visibility on campus by offering
scholarships to those engaged
in the LGBTQIA+ community,
facilitating programs and providing education, which in turn
make people in the community
feel they belong at GVSU.
"If you feel like you belong
here, if people want you to be
here and you can be your full
self, it makes it a lot easier to
be in the classroom and ask a
question about the math problem:' Hsu-Bishop said.
Hsu-Bishop said everyone
at GVSU plays a role in keeping the campus a welcoming
and safe environment for all
students, regardless of their
sexual or gender identity.
"We all have a role to
play;' she said. "Whether you
identify as straight or transgender or LGBTQIA+, we all
have an opportunity to say,
'Yeah, I'm a part of whether
this campus is welcoming, affirming and inclusive to the
folks around me, people I
care about, as well as myself."
Also at the general assembly, student senators who attended a conference at Oakland
University in mid-November
shared their notes from the day.
The conference was a gathering of student senators from
various universities to present
on their current projects. One
of the first points that senator
Rachel Jenkin shared was that
the conference made her realize that GVSU's student senate
is ahead of the pack.
"My take-home point
from the day was that I'm
incredibly proud of our body
and everything that we're doing:• Jenkin said. "In comparison to other universities,
we're just ahead of the game,
and we're happy to see that:'
With that said, Jenkin mentioned that some universities
have sexual-assault services in
place that she would like to see
replicated at GVSU.
"There are a couple of universities that have 24-hour
service for victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, things
like that, that they can ca11:• she
aid "They give them information about programs, ... things
of that nature, so that's what I'm
going to be working towards:'
Senators Julian VanDaele
and Cameron Jones discussed
the state funding that GVSU
receives in comparison toother universities. Senator Carly
Aller then brought up that
GVSU is better off than others schools in some ways. For
example, GVSU has a much
higher budget for student organizations than some other
universities have. Oakland
University has a $200,000
budget, for example, while
GVSU has a budget of more
than $2 million, she said.
The GVSU student senate
meets every Thursday at 4:30
p.m. in the Kirkhof Center
Pere Marquette Room.

CAMPUS INITIATIVES
'Wear the Rainbow'
BY TY KONELL
TKONELL @LANTHORN.COM
SUPPORT: GVSU student Eric Lacerna studies in the Milton E. Ford
LGBT Resource Center on campus Sept. 29, 2015. GVL I SARA CARTE
In an effort to affirm the
varying gender identities of
students, the Grand Valley
State University Milton E.
Ford LGBT Resource Center
held its annual event 'Wear the
Rainbow: a Trans and Genderqueer Clothing Swap:
The yearly clothing swap,
held in Loosemore Auditorium on the Pew campus, was
held Monday, Nov. 7 and allotted students access to free
apparel for any gender identity. The event offered dressing rooms for people to try on
looks and maintain privacy.
This year, the center
worked in partnership with
the GVSU LGBT Alumni
Chapter to put on the event.
Officials in the center said
the event is important for
students who want to explore
and express their gender
identity, but may not be able
to purchase clothing based
on varying reasons.
"This clothing swap provides an affirmative space for
people to explore different expressions of gender presentation and to play with various
looks;' said Marla Wick, assistant director of the center. "This
provides needed access to items
that may otherwise be unavailable to people due to financial
burdens, personal safety concerns and other barriers:'
"Clothing swaps like this
are important because it allows
trans people to get clothes that
make them feel more comfortable within their bodies:' said
Ezra Smith, student worker in
the center. ''Also, since many
of us are young and broke, we
don't have to worry about affording the clothes:'
Moreover, Smith said community events like the clothing
swap can be a source of affirmation to transgender and gender
non-conforming students.
"These events are validating
because there's other people in
this space like you, which on
its own is validating;' he said.
''And there are also often people
there to validate us and help us
find ourselves through clothes:'
"Wear the Rainbow" also
serves as a means of celebrating the history of the LGBT
community and offering new
ways for people in the community to help one another.
The event has been a tradition for a least three years.
"Queer and trans communities have a long and rich
history of sharing resources,
and 'Wear the Rainbow' is an
extension of that tradition;'
Wick said. '"Wear the Rainbow' also seeks to be a celebra-
LGBT Resource
Center hosts annual
clothing swap
tory space for people to be in
community with one another
and help each other find clothing items and styles to express
themselves authenticallY:'
Wick said the event is a
helpful resource for students
who face challenges shopping
for clothing in a traditional format, as presenting in public settings may prove to be challenging for transgender and gender
non-conforming students.
"Wear the Rainbow provides an opportunity for people to find free clothing and
accessories that align with
their gender identities:' Wick
said. "Shopping for clothing
can be a difficult and challenging process for transgender
people, and the clothing swap
offers an alternative to that:'

the Milton E. Ford LGBT Resource Center on weekdays
from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m.
