 peland on Seeking Queer Soundwork: On Lesbian Feminist Practices of Discov
 erability\n\nThis presentation invites scholars and media practitioners al
 ike into lesbian feminist radio histories and queer podcast futures of com
 munity discoverability.\n\nAudio media play a key role in queer activism a
 s\; entertainment\, a public facing political project\, a community space\
 , and as part of a larger lesbian feminist information infrastructure. Ear
 ly lesbian feminist radio shows such as The Lesbian Show (1979) at CFRO-FM
  and Dykes on Mykes (1987) at CKUT-FM offer a unique glimpse into a past i
 n which ‘visibility’ - or in this case ‘audibility’ - was key to establish
 ing political rights and social education around women’s sexuality. Linked
  to a larger movement of lesbian information activism taking place during 
 the second wave feminist movement (1970’s-1990’s)\, lesbian feminist commu
 nity radio was/is a vital form of information activism. But how did they g
 et the word out and what sort of networks did they build in the process? A
 pplying a queer temporal ear\, listening back to Dykes on Mykes is not so 
 different from listening to a queer podcast today. What has changed are th
 e technological affordances\, politics and practices of discoverability. I
 nformed by the work of scholars such as Cait McKinney (2020) and Kara Keel
 ing (2014)\, Copeland takes on an intersectional feminist information stud
 ies and queer media studies approach to gain a sense of the complex interm
 ediality\, infrastructure\, and counterpublic formations surrounding the d
 iscoverability of queer soundwork. Copeland's archival research into queer
  feminist soundwork tunes us into renewed communal practices of safety\, a
 ccountability\, and discoverability. Ultimately returning to lesbian radio
  activism as a potential media model toward more equitable feminist world-
 making possibilities for future queer media makers.\n\nSpeaker Bio: Stacey
