with Joseph Plaster<\/em><\/p>\n

Joseph Plaster\u2019s prize-winning Kids on the Street: Queer Kinship and Religion in San Francisco\u2019s Tenderloin<\/em><\/a> (Duke University Press, February 2023) explores the informal support networks that enabled abandoned and runaway \u201ckids on the street\u201d to survive in central city tenderloin districts across the United States, and San Francisco’s Tenderloin in particular, over the past century. Centering the experiences of street kids enabled him to articulate\u2014indeed excavate\u2014a history of queer sociality that has been overshadowed by major narratives of gay progress and pride. He ultimately represents a politics where the marginal position of street youth\u2014the self-defined \u201ckids on the street,\u201d hair fairies, hustlers, queens, and \u201cundesirables\u201d\u2014is the basis for a moral economy of reciprocity and mutual aid.<\/p>\n

Joseph Plaster<\/strong> is an interdisciplinary scholar trained in queer studies and public humanities, with teaching and research fields at the intersection of American 20th-century urban history, oral history, performance studies, public history, and LGBTQ studies of religion. He is a Lecturer in the Program in Museum and Society<\/a> and Director of the Winston Tabb Special Collection Research Center at Johns Hopkins University<\/a>, where he develops cross-departmental, community-based research initiative in collaboration with Baltimore\u2019s ballroom and voguing scene, grassroots trans and non-binary activities, and local artists of colour.<\/em><\/p>\n
