Cor Blevins
Reader
Cor Blevins (he/him) holds an MA in Holocaust and Genocide Studies from Stockton University, and an MEd in Human Sexuality Education from Widener University. As an educator, Cor is deeply committed to learning environments that are grounded in history and that empower queer individuals to tell their stories and contribute to a rich understanding of gender and sexual diversity. For Cor, queer history is an important part of our present and future, and Cor hopes that his work will help to ensure that queer voices will be heard: past, present, and future.
During his time as a PTL Project Advocate, Cor helped make our online content more accessible by lending his voice as a Reader. He provided an audio essay for our profile on Eve Adams.
Reflecting on his decision to volunteer for the PTL Project, Cor states, "As a queer and trans person who grew up without role models in the community, queer history has always been something that I feel as though I have been searching for. When I studied Nazi Germany and the Holocaust in my MA program, learning about queer victims of the Holocaust was particularly devastating, and when I began to study human sexuality, learning that we had lost not only human lives and stories but also extensive amounts of gender and sexuality research and knowledge was mind-boggling. I had been searching for a way to get involved with efforts to preserve and uncover stories and remnants from this period in history, and when I found the Pink Triangle Legacies Project I knew I wanted to be a part."
