When: 12:30 - 14:00, Wed, 27 May '26

Guest Speaker: Dr Olimpia Burchiellaro, University of Essex

Title: 'Homocapitalism and/as speculative governmentality: Corporate investments in LGBTQ+ rights at the inclusion/market frontier'

Abstract: In March 2021, the UK-based think tank Open for Business released a statement inviting global corporations to commit to advancing LGBTQ+ rights in Kenya, where homosexuality is criminalised. Drawing from research calculating the economic cost of homophobia, the statement suggested LGBTQ+ rights were not merely compatible with, but essential to, creating the kinds of ‘productive’ and ‘dynamic’ investment climates in which corporations thrived. This seminar traces the speculative fictions that sustain the economic case for LGBTQ+ rights and the ways in which these mark out certain sites as ‘untapped’ and ‘exciting’ frontiers for investment. Drawing from ethnographic fieldwork conducted in Nairobi, I posit the economic case as a speculative financial tool through which corporations construct ‘investibility’, which can nevertheless also be reworked by local LGBTQ+ activists in pursuit of their own goals.

Mahek Bhatia on 'Exploring Marital Sexual Violence Litigation in India'

Abstract: My MSc thesis investigated the operation of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act 2005, focusing on litigation experiences and the potential for strategic legal engagement. Drawing on legal reports and ten semi-structured interviews with lawyers, it uncovered that engagement with civil law is not legalistic, uniform, straightforward, or wholly separate from criminal justice institutions. Instead, litigation is more complex and game-like, with players, rules, advisors, and contested outcomes, in which civil law and criminal law are enmeshed in complex ways. Within this framework, lawyers emerge as crucial intermediaries who balance the legal system’s constraints with the needs of survivors. As I begin my PhD, I will be developing this project for doctoral research. In the presentation, I will outline how I plan to do so and explain the intended methodological design of the project. Receiving feedback and constructive criticism on this development will be crucial and beneficial for the project.
