LGBT+ History virtual study day

February may be LGBT+ month, but what about the rest of the year? At the University of Southampton, we believe it’s important to pay attention to these often-marginalized histories all-year round. So on 21 April 2021, we held an online workshop exploring LGBT+ history and some of the different ways it has developed and evolved. The workshop involves three short talks by specialists from the History department, followed by a Q&A session. The talks cover a broad range of LGBT+ histories, from queer spaces in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Britain and trans history in the mid-twentieth century United States to how the law has operated against homosexuality in the UK, Brazil and Russia.
