This program is funded in part by Mass Humanities, which receives support from the Massachusetts Cultural Council and is an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Biographical Note: Charles Shively was born in 1937. He earned his Bachelor of Arts from Harvard in 1959, and his PhD in 1969. He began teaching at Boston State College in 1965. In 1982 when BSC closed their doors, UMass Boston agreed to take seven of their thirty history professors. Shively, while in the top running was thought of as having abandoned history for Gay Liberation and too radical for UMass. With the help and support of his friends, Charlie did manage to get hired by UMass where he was placed in a much small and less known program of Law and Justice. He later transferred to American Studies. He was awarded three Fulbright Research and Teaching Grants over his lifetime. This first in 1991 when he was named a Senior Fulbright Lecturer in Mexico on sexually variant behavior. In 1996 his second Fulbright was awarded for a summer in Ecuador. In 2001 he traveled to Vietnam on his third grant, teaching American Studies. Shively was one of the first scholars to publish in the new field of sexuality and gay studies that emerged in the 1970's and early 1980's. His writings and knowledge on Walt Whitman, led to his two books, Calamus Lovers: Walt Whitman's Working Class Camerados (1987) and Drum Beats: Walt Whitman's Civil War Soldier Boy Lovers, (1989) both published by Gay Sunshine Press are still contributing to scholarly debates to this day. An avid poet, he surrounded himself with some of the leading Boston poets and writers of his time, including, John Wieners, Michael Bronski, and John Mitzel. His collection contains two boxes of his own hand-written poetry along with an array of personal notes and poems from his wide circle of friends. In 1971, Charley Shively along with John Mitzel, and Larry Martin formed the Fag Rag Collective and began publishing the Boston Gay Newspaper, Fag Rag, which ran until the early 1980's. During it's run Fag Rag became an important vehicle for incarcerated men to connect with one another. Charlie Shively along with Mike �Riegle began a prison correspondence program. The Charles Shively Collection, as well as the Mike Riegle Collection, contains hundreds of hand-written correspondences and letters of LGBTQ life while incarcerated. Charlie Shively was often called, Mr. Gay Liberation by his friends. During the seventies and early eighties, he helped founded such organizations as The Gay Community News, The Gay and Lesbian Advocates and Defenders, and Fenway Community Health Center to name just a few.
