Join us for the second seminar of the Warwick CSWG Graduate Seminar series 2021/22, themed "Queer & Dynamic Identities".

All are welcome.

This session revolves around questions of identity and body, family and nation, religion and activism, whereby the pervasive ruling of heteronormativity is challenged by the lived experiences of the Black African Queer diaspora, as well as by those of trans and homosexual individuals in the context of Muslim-majority Pakistan; societal acceptance and legal recognition of same-sex parenthood in Greece; and calls for political change and the renegotiation of transgender narratives in literature. 

The following papers will be presented:

• “A Soul in Physical Stress: Transgender Epistemologies and Transitioning Ethics in Djuna Barnes's Nightwood" by Andreea Moise
• "Queer Activism n Lahore" by Naseeba Umar
• "Regulating Same-Sex Parenting in Greece: Institutional Changes, Social Acceptance, Claims" by Athina Mara
