Subject: London Based: LGBT History Club 4 July - Presentation and forum with Sean Curran

 

LGBT HISTORY CLUB

Wednesday 4 July   6pm-7.30pm  FREE drop-in event

London Metropolitan Archives, 40, Northampton Road, London, EC1R 0HB

 

On Wednesday 4th July Sean Curran will be presenting some interesting ideas around his current research and opening up a discussion with members of LGBT History Club.

 

Sean has  been awarded a PhD studentship by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) due to start in October and would like to take the opportunity to discuss the nature of his proposed research with a range of people interested in the  field of queering museum and archive practice.

Some areas for discussion:

·         Should interpretation in museums and archives should be weighted towards a celebration of a shared queer identity to promote a sense of belonging and community amongst a diverse and varied audience

·         What broader steps towards inclusion can be made beyond interpretations focusing on difference.

·         How can museums and archives become platforms for identity-forming, both for individuals and communities, and share personal experiences of queer heritage (and its lack of visibility) in London

 

We look forward to seeing you
