E. Patrick Johnson shares excerpts from his current creative nonfiction research on black southern women who love women to demonstrate how he employed performative and creative writing as a feminist method for conducting oral histories. Johnson will also point to how creative nonfiction provided him a space to allegorize cross-gender ethnographic and oral history praxis and the tensions that arise therein. Dr. Johnson is Chair of the Department of African American Studies, Carlos Montezuma Professor of African American Studies and Performance Studies, Northwestern University.
