has abstract	Michael Lynch (1944 – July 9, 1991) was an American-born Canadian professor, journalist, and activist, most noted as a pioneer of gay studies in Canadian academia and as an important builder of many significant LGBT rights and HIV/AIDS organizations in Toronto. Born and raised in Harnett County, North Carolina, he studied at Goddard College and the University of Iowa. He wrote his doctoral dissertation on the poetry of Wallace Stevens. He moved to Toronto in 1971 with his then-wife Gail Jones, and from 1971 to 1990 he taught in the Department of English at the University of Toronto at both the main and Erindale College campuses. After coming out as a gay man in 1973, Lynch was a writer and a contributing editor for The Body Politic. In 1974, he taught the first gay studies course offered at a Canadian university, through the University of Toronto's School of Continuing Education. He was a founding member of the Toronto chapter of Gay Alliance Toward Equality and the Gay Academic Union. In 1980, he convened the first academic conference on the topic of Walt Whitman's 1880 visit to London, Ontario. He helped found the Toronto Centre for Lesbian and Gay Studies, which continues to offer an annual academic grant in his name. Lynch was a committed AIDS activist from the dawn of the AIDS crisis in 1981 until his death in 1991, including as a founding member of AIDS Action Now!, the AIDS Committee of Toronto and the AIDS Memorial in Toronto's Barbara Hall Park. In 1989 he published the poetry collection These Waves of Dying Friends. At the time of his death, he had an unfinished gay studies manuscript, The Age of Adhesiveness: From Friendship to Homosexuality, in development. The book was an expansion of an earlier academic paper, for which he won Crompton-Noll Award from the Lesbian and Gay Caucus of the Modern Languages Association in 1981. He also served as the editor of the Lesbian and Gay Caucus's Gay Studies Newsletter. (en)
