A Mellon Faculty Fellowship afforded co-instructors H. N. Lukes and David J. Kim the opportunity to develop this digital humanities archiving course from two previous iterations of a seminar on Los Angeles LGBT* cultural history. This current version of The Grit and Glamour of Queer LA Subculture, presented in the University of Southern California’s Scalar format as a hybrid digital book/archive/exhibit, is the culmination of student and instructors’ collaborative work conducted before, during, and after this course offering. We hope to build it over the years as an ongoing public digital humanities project through both further courses at Occidental and in collaboration with other campuses.
Professor H. N. Lukes's following essay, "Queer Intentions," documents the methods and progress of this CTSJ course at Oxy in three sections tracing the arc of the semester. As Grit and Glamour develops from a single course project to a multi-campus endeavor, and eventually a digital public history project, we hope that this kind of process-based document will eventually populate an independent pedagogical dossier for others working in course-based digital humanities.
We invite you to read "Queer Intentions" or just proceed to our first two complete chapters and our two works-in-progress linked below.
