Join us for a special virtual edition of Dignity in Dialogue on 18 June, 4:00 PM (CEST).
Organized by Dignity Network Canada in collaboration with the Center for Gender Studies and Feminist Futures and the Center for Conflict Studies at Philipps-Universität Marburg, together with the Centre for Human Rights at the University of Pretoria, this event celebrates the launch of Joy, Reflections, Resistance – LGBTIQ+ Lived Realities in Africa: Scholarly and Activist Perspectives.
Co-edited by Mariel Reiss and Ayodele Sogunro, this newly published book brings together scholarly and activist perspectives on the diverse lived realities of LGBTIQ+ communities across Africa. The book emerged from the Pretoria-Marburg Q***r Conversations webinar series, which fosters dialogue and knowledge exchange between academics and activists while centering African experiences, expertise, and leadership.
The conversation will be moderated by Thiruna Naidoo (Outright International)
Join the editors and contributors as they discuss the motivations behind the book, the realities facing q***r communities across Africa today, and the possibilities for transnational solidarity in a rapidly changing world.
There will be simultaneous EN-FR and FR-EN interpretation available.
