Description
I am interested in how institutionalized queer advocacy groups function differently from underground groups that have no university affiliation. I want to investigate the similarities and differences in topics the groups advocate for, their access to resources, and level of community engagement. I intend to achieve this goal by utilizing both the Rainbow Alliance archive and Pittsburgh’s Underground Press. Specifically, the Student Underground Press and the Gay Underground Press (Pittsburgh’s OUT magazine).
