Earlier this year, my blockmates and I each received a plastic baggie of condoms, dental dams, and other socially progressive articles. Included in these baggies were “BGLT Safe Space” stickers, intended for students to affix to their doors in demarcation of an area into which, in apparent contrast with most Harvard spaces, a queer student could enter without risk of being attacked.

(Stopforth jokes, “He hopes they will grow there.”) On another table sit the products of the class’ first project: balls of clay into which the class members molded blades of grass, berries, and pinecones from the site...
