SexGen Seminar
British South Asian Issues of Gender and Sexuality
14.00-17.30, 30th October 2015.
Venue: Quayside, University of Huddersfield
British South Asian Issues of Gender and Sexuality foregrounds some of the challenges and opportunities facing British South Asians living in the UK today. These experiences are forged via the intersections of age and generation, ethnicity, faith, gender, sexual identity and other social characteristics such as socio-economic class and spatiality. Whilst not avoiding ‘thorny issues’ such as forced marriage and the impact of fundamentalism, the workshop seeks to place these in the context of the many different subjectivities that British South Asians have, and to highlight agentic coping strategies for dealing with racism and other social inequalities.
Speakers :
• Nafhesa Ali (University of Huddersfield): Older South Asian migrant (SAM) women, gender and sexuality: Constructing 'appropriate femininities'
• Santokh Gill (University of Huddersfield): British Sikh Masculinities in Transition
