Cor Blevins (he/him) holds an MA in Holocaust and Genocide Studies from Stockton University, and an MEd in Human Sexuality Studies from Widener University. He is currently a PhD student sexologist and sexuality educator who is dedicated to exploring how trans and queer people experience gender and how factors like media representation, communal storytelling, and personal narratives shape those experiences. As a member of the trans community himself, Cor is deeply committed to research and education 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 the queer present and future, and he seeks to create opportunities for queer individuals to learn from their past. Cor hopes to ensure, through research, education, and preservation, that queer voices will be heard: past, present, and future. 

​

During his time as a PTL Project Advocate, Cor is helping make our online content more accessible by lending his voice as a Reader of our essays. He is also researching, writing, and producing a Profile Resource Kit for our LGBTQ+ Stories from Nazi Germany initiative.

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 sexology, 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."
