Event details

For LGBTQ+ History month, the University of York Department of History invites you to "Doing Queer History in the 2020s", an interdisciplinary roundtable. Four speakers will introduce their own research in LGBTQ+ histories, followed by discussion and questions chaired by Dr Tess Wingard (she/her). The event will explore how the field of queer history has evolved over the last decade, with the opening up of new archives and museums; the growing importance of trans and intersex histories; and greater attention to intersectionality with histories of race and colonialism.

All are welcome - we hope the wider York community will join us for an open and friendly discussion. There will be a free drinks reception after the event, for further conversation with the speakers and other attendees.
