Recovering LGBTQ+ Student Voices at the University of Edinburgh: An Archival Project

Join us for a roundtable discussion that will launch an archival project by the LGBTQ+ Liberation Campaign and the Centre for Research Collections. The project will highlight LGBTQ+ student voices at the University of Edinburgh (1968-present). At the roundtable, students and archivists working on the project, as well as academic researchers will reflect on the importance of archival work for the LGBTQ+ community and questions of silence in the archive and oral history. The roundtable itself will be preceded by a small reception hosted by GENDER.ED. All are welcome!

Speakers:

Rachel Hosker, University Archivist and Research Collections Manager

Dr. James Bell, Lecturer in Contemporary Art Theory (specialising in queer and trans art)

Dr Niamh Moore, Senior Lecturer in Sociology (specialising in queer theory and archival methods)

Professor Sharon Cowan, Professor of Feminist and Queer Legal Studies

This roundtable is in partnership with the Staff Pride Network.

This is a free event, which means we overbook to allow for no-shows and to avoid empty seats. While we generally do not have to turn people away, this does mean we cannot guarantee everyone a place. Admission is on a first-come, first-served basis.
