In this episode, we dive into gender and sexual diversity, sexual dissidence, and their intersections with anthropology and education. Through a conversation with Dr. Joshua Liashenko, Director of LGBTQ+ Studies at Chapman University, we explore how queer anthropologists are engaging with these concepts in their approaches to research, training and teaching, particularly in relation to gay, lesbian, queer and trans communities in North America.
We discuss the historical development of anthropology’s engagement with sexuality and highlight the importance of bringing these conversations into the classroom, especially as anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric and policies continue to rise across North America, particularly in the United States. This episode also considers how these themes are being taken up in university settings, especially within Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion efforts and offers resources for listeners who want to dive deeper into this work.

This is the second episode in the series "What Concepts Do." In this episode, Contributing Editor Sharon Jacobs unpacks the concept of solidarity, alongside anthropologists Darryl Li, Amahl Bishara, Lesley Gill, and Dimitrios Theodossopoulos. What is solidarity, and who can practice it? Is solidarity something we do within communities, or beside allies? What are some of the shortcomings and challenges of solidarity?
