Welcome to Tell Me More!, a podcast for amplifying the work of graduate students. In this episode, Tyler Gillespie, a second-year PhD student in the Writing, Rhetoric, & Technical Communication program at the University of Memphis, stops by for a chat!
Tyler gives us an overview of his chapter in the upcoming Routledge Handbook of Queer Rhetoric (edited by Jonathan Alexander and Jacqueline Rhodes) on rhetorical practices in Florida’s LGBTQ community. Specifically, he talks about the self-published Womyn’s Words, which ran from 1983 to 2011 and is known as “Florida’s Oldest Gay Publication.” Tyler’s chapter focuses on the publication’s text creation, collaborative production, and circulation as means of place-based, community formation. He also chats about the ethics of storytelling and research.
