First National Festival of LGBT History
In 2014 I was invited to be a member of the committee organising the academic conference to accompany the First National Festival of LGBT History in Manchester in February 2015.
The 2nd What is and how to do LGBT History Conference 2015
Methods, Subjects & Approaches
“The 2nd What is & How to DO LGBT History?” conference seeks to place attitudes, experiences and identities in their historical context. Despite the increasing popular demand for “LGBT History” in Britain, the history of attitudes towards sex and gender diversity in the UK remains an underdeveloped field, especially in comparison with the advances that have been made in the United States. An important part of the 10th anniversary celebrations of LGBT History month is to lead and develop the growing discourse into past attitudes towards sex and gender diversity within the academy and among the general public.
