This presentation develops ways of queering in Africa, paying particular attention to African terms and concepts that express fluidity and diversity in the African context. In revisiting existing work on the concept nongayindoda previously offered (Matebeni 2021), Zethu Matebeni moves away from the focus on gender, and argues for a version of existence that is non-tangible, […]

Does the sexual dimension of queer and trans identities and communities facilitate and/or limit solidarity across differences and different regimes of (in)equality, […]

Histories of class, gender, race, sexuality and disability intersect, yet the impact of these convergences on overall accounts of the past has gone unacknowledged for a long time. While theoretical debates on intersectionality, especially in the social sciences, have been productive, there remains a lot of scope for empirical research. The summer school explores the […]

Het is ruim veertig jaar geleden dat Amerikaanse artsen in juni 1981 alarm sloegen: zij ontdekten een nieuw virus, dat vooral rond leek te gaan onder homoseksuele mannen.

Christendemocraten worden vaak gezien als tegenstanders van homo-emancipatie. Maar uitgerekend zij stelden al in 1986 voor om homorelaties wettelijk te erkennen. Hoe kwamen ze daarbij?
