Joseph Plaster

Dr. Joseph Plaster is Curator in Public Humanities and Director of the Winston Tabb Special Collections Research Center for the Sheridan Libraries & University Museums. In this capacity, he cultivates an exchange of knowledge between the university and greater Baltimore region through participatory action research, oral history initiatives, performances, and courses taught through the Program in Museums and Society and the Program for the Study of Women, Gender, and Sexuality. His research and teaching combine archival, oral history, and public humanities methods to examine the world-making practices of marginalized publics in the United States, with a focus on intersections of gender, sexuality, and race.

Plaster is the author of Kids on the Street: Queer Kinship and Religion in San Francisco’s Tenderloin (Feb. 2023, Duke University Press). Kids on the Street combines archival, ethnographic, and oral history research to explore the informal support networks that enabled abandoned and runaway queer youth to survive in tenderloin districts across the United States, and in San Francisco’s Tenderloin in particular. By highlighting a politics where the marginal position of street kids is the basis for a moral economy of reciprocity, he excavates a history of queer life that has been overshadowed by major narratives of gay progress and pride. His research has appeared in a range of scholarly venues, including The Public Historian, Radical History Review, The Abusable Past, Kalfou: A Journal of Comparative and Relational Ethnic Studies, and GLQ, and has been supported by grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the New York Public Library, and The Graduate Center of the City University of New York.

Plaster’s public humanities projects bring together diverse publics—historians, archivists, artists, performers, and grassroots activists—as partners in research and creative expression. He directs the Peabody Ballroom Experience, a collaboration between Johns Hopkins University and the artists who make up Baltimore’s ballroom scene. As director of the Winston Tabb Special Collections Research Center, he advances public humanities scholarship by connecting faculty, students, staff, and the larger Baltimore community to the Sheridan Libraries’ special collections of rare books. Plaster directed the San Francisco ACT UP Oral History Project, Vanguard Revisited, and was awarded the American Historical Association’s Allan Bérubé Prize for Polk Street: Lives in Transition, which drew on original oral histories to intervene in debates about gentrification, homelessness, queer politics, and public safety in the highly polarized setting of gentrifying San Francisco.
