Author Biography: Patrick Dilley

Book Synopsis

Capturing the diversity of non-heterosexual men's lives in their formative years, Queer Man on Campus blends historical analysis with personal stories to show that the gay college experience is far from uniform. Instead, Dilley finds, gay collegiates fall into seven distinct identities that have been played out in college life from World War II to the end of the twentieth century. From those who spent their college years in denial or led dual lives, to those who - spurred on by the politics of the 1960s and 70s - brought sexual identity firmly into student life, coursework, and institutional policy, Dilley traces the important, subtle development of gay male identities across five decades.
