Who? Me?
I have a PhD from UCLA in Armenian Studies with a research expertise in Gender & Sexuality. I have been writing a book based on my PhD and post-doctoral research on the experiences of LGBTQ Armenians with identity, family, and community.
Over the course of 10 years, I have conducted one-on-one interviews with LGBTQ Armenians of all ages recording their life stories. My purpose was both to capture never before told histories as well as publish a book to make queer Armenian experiences visible. I hope this book will educate people and provide support for those in need.
