The Missing Colors of the Rainbow: Black Queer Resistance

This paper traces the historical context of queer activism and black activism from the social movements of the 1960s and 1970s in the U.S. in order to show the deep rift between blackness and queerness that comes into full force in a supposedly colorblind nation that more than once claimed that “gay is the new black.” This is not only a dangerous analogy that lacks profound grounding, it also leads to a discourse that draws a clear boundary between two separate communities and movements—one black, one queer. Recent activism by #BlackLivesMatter has challenged the analogy of blackness and queerness by centralizing both in their critique of state-sanctioned violence against black people. The analysis of Nneka Onourah’s documentary The Same Difference provides further insight into the complex array of power that affect the lived experiences at the intersection of queerness, blackness, and gender. The documentary generates points of departure through which queerness finds validity as a tool for critical thinking, a way of active resistance, and a basis for community action. Placing the documentary in context, this article reconstructs a paradigm for radical queer politics in the force-field of traditional notions of black masculinity and femininity and queerness as a destabilizer of both, bringing queerness back into a marginal position from which it can be critical of the state

CM 510 Foundations of Campus Ministry (reading list)

Students who are following a vocational calling into campus ministry are encouraged to pursue the Master’s of Divinity degree. This course serves as one of four core electives meeting the Servant Ministry requirement in the Mdiv degree. The four CD courses meeting this requirement focus on a students’ projected ministerial role: CD 510 for Christian Educators; CD 511 for Pastors; CM 510 for Campus Ministers; and YM 510 for Youth Ministers. Thus the catalogue description for this course reads: CM 510 provides orientation and immersion into research-based understandings of young adult development and spiritual formation, and explores effective ministry approaches for the college/university student. This course is designed for the recent college/university graduate who is exploring a career in campus ministry. (Note: an additional campus ministry course is being developed for 2008-2009 that will likely bear the title Campus Ministry Foundations II. This course will explore more fully issues of fundraising, understanding academic culture, board deployment and developmental perspectives on young adulthood and mentoring. However, most of these topics will be touched on in an introductory way in this course.)https://place.asburyseminary.edu/syllabi/3332/thumbnail.jp
