Queer Mobilizations

Social Movement Activism and Canadian Public Policy

Edited by Manon Tremblay

 

Canada is considered a leader when it comes to LGBTQ rights, yet this is a fairly recent phenomenon – one that is largely due to the tireless work of disparate groups of LGBTQ activists. Queer Mobilizations examines the relationships between LGBTQ activists and local, provincial, and federal Canadian governments. The contributors explore how various governments have tried to regulate and repress LGBTQ movements, and how, in turn, queer activists have successfully shaped public policy, across the political spectrum, from city halls to Parliament Hill.

 

Manon Tremblay is a professor in the School of Political Studies at the University of Ottawa and co-editor of Stalled: The Representation of Women in Canadian Governments (UBC Press, 2013).

 

Contributors: Gordon Brent Brochu-Ingram, Brian Burtch, Alexa DeGagne, Julie Depelteau, Joanna Everitt, Dalie Giroux, Rebecca Haskell, Nathaniel M. Lewis, Catherine J. Nash, Aynsley Pescitelli, Julie Podmore, David Rayside, and Miriam Smith
