In November the Canadian Studies Center was fortunate to partner with the UW Libraries and the Q Center to offer an academic roundtable entitled \u201cThe Impact of Homophobia on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Citizens: A Canada-U.S. Comparative Perspective.\u201d Douglas Janoff, author of Pink Blood: Homophobic Violence in Canada (2005), joined us to provide the history of the LGBT rights movement in Canada.<\/p>\n

Janoff has spent years researching homophobic violence around the world. He discussed both the statistics that he\u2019s uncovered regarding homophobic violence in Canada as well as the methodological difficulties involved in measuring crimes that are chronically under-reported or incorrectly defined.<\/p>\n

Also joining the roundtable were Roger Leishman, attorney on the Board of Directors of the American Civil Liberties Union of Washington, and Terry Price, legislative counsel to the Washington state legislature. Both Leishman and Price provided insight into the history of LGBT rights legislation in Washington state, and Leishman also discussed Washington state and U.S. litigation history with respect to LGBT rights.<\/p>\n

UW Librarians Cass Hartnett, U.S. Documents and LGBT Studies Librarian, and Sion Romaine, Canadian Studies and Serials Acquisitions, aided the Canadian Studies Center in making the roundtable a success by creating an online guide to the reading list suggested by Janoff, available at\u00a0http:\/\/guides.lib.washington.edu\/content.php?pid=82333<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This roundtable was supported, in part, by funding from the Center\u2019s Title VI grant, U.S. Department of Education, Office of International Education and Graduate Program Services.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
