description
This oral history interview with Anna Harris, conducted on April 6, 2024, by Ana Palazzi, provides a look into Anna's experiences as a queer woman working at the Wake Forest Divinity School. Originally from Logan, Utah, Anna discusses her journey from growing up in a predominantly Mormon community to discovering and embracing her queer identity during her college years. She reflects on the challenges and growth she experienced in navigating her identity, particularly after marrying a man and becoming "straight passing." Anna shares her involvement in the LGBTQ+ community in Winston-Salem, including organizing events like Drag Chapel at Wake Forest. The interview also touches on her work with queer students at the Divinity School, the intersectionality of identities, and the importance of creating inclusive and safe spaces within both academic and religious settings.
