Outside 麻豆AV, Jacob is active as a choral singer and amateur ballet dancer.

Lynn Kozak is an assistant professor in the Department of History and Classical Studies, working in the Classics programme with a specialisation in Ancient Greek literature. Lynn has been involved with the Queer Equity Subcommittee since her arrival at 麻豆AV in 2010, and is grateful for the chance to participate in efforts to make 麻豆AV a more diverse place.

听Mike Lubetsky is in the joint Law/MBA program, concentrating in finance, and has represented the PGSS on the Committee since 2005. He did his undergraduate studies in religion at Princeton University, and then spent ten years overseas working as a high-school teacher, investment researcher, and foreign service officer.

听James Wallace is pursuing his PhD in the Department of History at 麻豆AV. His past work has examined the relationship between sexuality and social space in Britain and he is currently broadening his research to examine the role that print media played in furthering debate on social topics, including sexuality. He has been actively involved for the past several years with the Canadian Lesbian and Gay Archives in their ongoing effort to catalogue the personal histories of queer people across Canada. James is excited to be working with both the Safe Space Program and Queer Equity Subcommittee and the continuing effort to promote diversity at 麻豆AV.

听Brian Lewis听is an Associate Professor of History. He is a Brit and a new Canadian, and specializes in 18th-20th century British history, with a developing interest in the history of sexuality. As well as British history, he teaches courses on the World Wars, on nationalism, and on the history of sexuality (HIST 433: British Queer History and HIST 347: History and Sexuality II). He was the first openly gay Chair of the History Department (2002-7), helped establish the Interdisciplinary Minor in Sexual Diversity Studies, and is currently the Chair of the SDS Advisory Committee. His work includes books on the middle classes of 19th century Lancashire mill towns and on the soap magnate, William Hesketh Lever, and articles on the gay sex diaries of Sir Roger Casement, humanitarian and Irish nationalist. His current project is entitled "Queering Britain: Sexual and Criminal Inversion from Wilde to Wolfenden," with the main focus on the diaries and other papers of George Cecil Ives (1867-1950), a pioneer of "gay rights" in Britain.

听Ken Borris听is Professor of English Literature, Canadian, and specializes in Renaissance nondramatic literature; early modern European cultural history, both material and intellectual, 1450-1650; and the European history of same-sexuality during that period. He teaches courses in those areas, including Representations of Same-Sex Desire in Early Modern Europe, usually offered as ENGL 354 (but sometimes under other numbers). His publications in the field of same-sexual historiography include听Same-Sex Desire in the English Renaissance: A Sourcebook听(Routledge, 2004); the forthcoming co-edited volume of essays,听The Sciences of Homosexuality in Early Modern Europe听(Routledge, 2007); and another such co-edited collection,听The Affectionate Shepherd: Celebrating Richard Barnfield听(Associated University Presses, 2001). Around 1595, while living in London, Barnfield precociously published what have been called "the most openly homosexual poems of the English Renaissance" in his early twenties, including a sequence of love sonnets to Ganymede.

It will be published, as Contextual Subjects: Family, State, and Relational Theory, by University of Toronto Press in 2008. In 2005-2006, he worked as a visiting scholar at the Centre de recherche en 茅thique de l鈥橴niversit茅 de Montr茅al (CR脡UM).

He started at 麻豆AV in 1992 and is now the Director of the Career and Placement Service (CAPS).

He currently volunteers at Montreal's Gay Line. His two worlds overlap most recently through the development of "Careers and Queers" workshops at CAPS which look at how being queer influences our career choices and how we deal with coming out at work.
