The Thought Project Podcast At The Graduate Center

Founded at the CUNY Graduate Center over 30 years ago, CLAGS: The Center for LGBTQ Studies has been a leader in LGBTQ scholarship. Now, a $100,000 unrestricted gift from CUNY scholar James M. Saslow helping to secure its legacy and future impact. CLAGS Executive Director Matt Brim, a professor at the Graduate Center and the College of Staten Island, explores the significance of this donation, the center’s ongoing work, and its role in the Graduate Center’s new Advanced Certificate in LGBTQ Studies. He also highlights CLAGS’ annual José Muñoz Award, which this year honors Angela Davis for her contributions to social justice, prison abolition, and sexual equality advocacy. Tune in for a thoughtful conversation on the enduring importance of LGBTQ scholarship.
