Narratives of Queer Islam: History, Politics, Protest
Location: Meeting Room 2 (subject to change)
For Pride Week and Islamophobia Awareness Month, Warwick Pride and Warwick Queer History Group present Narratives of Islam. The format will be short talks followed by discussion on the history and politics of the interactions and intersections of queerness with Islam. We welcome to Warwick:
Shahnaz Akhtar (Politics, Warwick) who will talk on queer Muslim communities in Britain and the larger context of immigration, diaspora and race that shape their politics and practices.
Saima Razzaq (Birmingham Pride) who will talk on her involvement and leadership in several initiatives to campaign for understanding between LGBTQ and Muslim communities.
Refreshments provided.
