Through equitable, collaborative work, the Centre seeks to support the visibility of global queer activists, artists, writers, and all those involved in thinking critically and creatively about queer cultures and politics. ahc.leeds.ac.uk/events/event...

Engaging queer topics and methodologies, & a queer ethics of care, the Centre supports researchers, scholars and educators, including postgraduate researchers.

The Centre advances interdisciplinary research in global queer cultures and politics, paying special attention to local histories and intercultural, polycentric, multilingual exchanges, in both contemporary and historical settings.

Many thanks to all @universityofleeds.bsky.social colleagues and students who have helped to make our new Centre possible.
The programme includes a keynote: 'Queer Anti-Nationalism in Right-Wing Times', by Dr. Alyosxa Tudor, and introductions to the aims of the Centre from the Directors.

During the day workshop, Dr Hájková will be joined by both Dr Will Jones, who translated the book from German to English, and Professor Helen Finch. Dr Hájková's book will be used as a springboard for discussion on Queer Studies in the context of Holocaust Studies.

(It's been brilliant to work on #WGSPathbreakers with @katherinestone.bsky.social and @laurelplapp.bsky.social. We can't wait to discover pathbreaking German texts that merit intensified scholarly attention, but have been overlooked by conventional publishers, censored or fallen out of print.)

b. Translations from German into English, which may include single works, selections from an individual author, or extracts from the output of multiple authors that will serve to illuminate significant issues in the representation of gender and/or sexuality in German-language culture. (3/3)

We welcome new proposals for:

a. Critical editions, which may include single works, selections from the corpus of an individual author, or multi-author anthologies by, or that offer fresh perspectives on, pathbreaking German language female, queer and trans culture. (2/3)

Danke fuers Zuhoeren!
