All,

(Apologizes if you’ve seen this cross-posted on different lists.)

Please forward this along, or feel free to get in contact off-list if you have suggestions!

I'm looking to conduct informal background interviews with queer and/or transgender-identified folks who, during the mid 1980s into the 1990s, were active on any of these forums:

• Compuserve's (aka CIS) GenderLine forum (also known as HSX-200)
• Prodigy (pre or post the closure of the "Frank Discussions" forum)
• GEnie (such as members of the GEnie Girls).

I'm hoping to learn more about the structure of these groups/spaces, their culture, and just how folks used them. If anyone is either interested in or might know someone who would be interested in participating in a short (one hour) interview, please let me know at avery.dame AT gmail.com.

Thanks in advance,

Avery Dame-Griff
