The Legacy of Eric Rofes
Eric Rofes was a long-time community organizer and activist
and a professor of education at Humboldt State University. He
was the founder of the national gay men's health summits and convener
of the first three summits in Boulder, CO and Raleigh, NC. He
authored of ten books, including The Kids' Book of Divorce
- By, For, and About Kids; Reviving the Tribe: Regenerating
Gay Men's Sexuality and Culture in the Ongoing Epidemic; and
Dry Bones Breathe: Gay Men Creating Post-AIDS Identities and
Cultures.
Sadly we lost Eric in June of last year. We continue the work
of the academy as a tribute to his work -- work he most assuredly
wanted continued. May we gather in memory of his life and his
commitment to building a healthier community filled with love
for ourselves and each other.
