Abstract
ABSTRACT In this complaint biography, I consider how Title IX’s peri-performative protocols fail to address structural homophobia and transphobia. Peri-performativity is a spatial metaphor that theorizes conditions for speech and is explored in three ways. First, I use peri-performativity to investigate speech acts and silences that surround sexual harassment in academia. Second, Title IX’s peri-performative protocols often result in performative advocacy, which does not result in structural change. Third, the essay’s creative structure spatially renders peri-performativity to demonstrate how incidents of harassment operate in a larger heteroprofesssional network of signification that uniquely harms LGBTQ academicians.
