event previews and reviews

Our forthcoming speaker at Warwick next week is none other than the powerful Lola Olufemi!

Our third event this term is a screening of the 2018 production, Nanette. The afternoon will include both a screening and a follow-up discussion.

Our next session, in collaboration with the Centre for the History of Medicine, will be entitled ‘Power Flip: Examining the Personal Archive of a Bisexual Homosexual Aversion Therapist’. The session will be led by Kate Davison, PhD student at the University of Melbourne. Kate’s work focuses on the history of sexology in the Cold War period.

A review of ‘Reading Images: Queer Re/presentation and Identity’ by Louise Morgan.

Next week, in collaboration with the Student Union and the Institute for Advanced Teaching and Learning (IATL), Queer History Warwick presents ‘Reading Images: Queer Re/presentation and Identity’. This event will be run by Hannah Ayres, a second year PhD candidate who specialises in queer re/presentation in museums.

A review of the ‘Impossible Desires’ event by Somak Biswas.

Tomorrow brings us our final event of what has been a very busy and very successful term. In a way, we are returning to the group’s origins as we host a reading group based on Gayatri Gopinath’s book Impossible Desires: Queer Diasporas and South Asian Public Culture.
