African Studies Centre Seminar: Queer Politics

Conveners: Miles Larmer and Nayanika Mathur

 

This special set of joint events focuses on activism and researching activism. In celebrating the global South’s rich experience of popular challenges to injustice, inequality and repression, these seminars will hear presentations from leading civic activists, speaking alongside academics who have researched political and social issues and activist challenges to them. As well as highlighting the diverse and changing foci of activism in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, the series will draw attention to the relationship between activist and academic work.
