Local LGBTQIA+ Hidden Histories – Victoria Araj (she/her)

• Online

• Friday, 17th February 6pm

This presentation will explore the Lincolnshire-related sources and references that Reimagining Lincolnshire researchers have discovered so far about local LGBTQIA+ history. As a public history project, our main focus is to uncover neglected narratives from the past in order to support a (far) more tolerant future. We realise there is a lot more to do; also that there are well-known challenges regarding research of this nature, such as criminalisation and resulting secrecy.  Come along and discuss how despite these obstacles we can proudly put local LGBTQIA+ history front and centre.

Pride Month Planning

• Wednesday 22nd February

• MB3202   1.30 -  2.30

Lincoln Pride has been providing a fun and safe space in Lincoln for LGBTQIA+ people and their allies, since 2012. Incorporating local charities and organisations with the common goal of promoting equality and diversity is integral to making Lincoln Pride a success.

The University of Lincoln invites you to an informal ideas session about how we can support and engage with Lincoln Pride.

A representative from the Lincoln Pride Committee will be opening the ideas session with a presentation about Lincoln Pride, its goals and its impact on the region. A facilitated session will then take place to encourage participants to think about different fun and creative ways to get involved in Lincoln Pride and how we can showcase the University as inclusive. You don’t need to be an expert, just passionate about LGBTQIA+ inclusion!
