Queerness in the Shadow of the Holy Cross

About Queerness in the Shadow of the Holy Cross

Through listening to the stories of students, alumni, and affiliates of Catholic higher education, Queerness in the Shadow of the Holy Cross investigates the intersections of the LGBTQIA+ experience, Catholicism, and faith formation, This project is both research input and output. As part of broader qualitative research, this podcast captures some of our data so we can share it with you. We hope this podcast is both a resource for queer people exploring faith, and leaders in and of Catholic institutions of higher education. Queerness in the Shadow of the Holy Cross is a project of undergraduate research at University of Portland through the Collaborative Humanities Investigating Religious Power (CHIRP) Lab.
