Based in London, it went to the Edinburgh Fringe twice and toured extensively. This presentation will use archive items such as programmes, flyers and photographs to illustrate the history of Leeds Queer Film Festival. We have paraphernalia dating back to the very first event from 15 years ago. We also have access to oral history testimonies from people who have attended the festival since the start. We will speak about how we reach marginalised groups. A History of Polari. Expect a unique insight into the socio-cultural influences of this parlance, once widely used by a persecuted minority.

In November Jeff was an invited keynote for the annual UNISA Doctoral Summer School that brought together researchers on gender in the ex-colonies, physics, sustainability, violence, and water, from all over South Africa and beyond.
Using a discourse analytical approach the book examines revenge pornography through the words of the perpetrators themselves and studies the complex ways in which they invoke, and deploy, gender- and sexuality-based discourses to blame the victim. It also explores strategies to curb the phenomenon of revenge porn, and by placing the research in a broader social and political context, Hall and Hearn are able to examine the effectiveness of current legislative frameworks, education and awareness raising, victim support and perpetrator re-education programmes, along with wider political considerations.

Facilitated by developments in technologies, the non-consensual posting of sexually explicit images of someone else for revenge, entertainment or political motive— so-called revenge porn — has become a global phenomenon. This groundbreaking book argues that fundamental and recurring issues about how victims are violated can be understood in terms of gender and sexual dynamics and constructions, binary gender and sexual positioning and logics, and the use of sexual meanings. The aim of the workshop is to stimulate debate, develop research connections, and encourage international collaborations and will focus on themes that are cutting edge in social work and sexuality.
Jo has received funding from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada to support her attendance at this special event. Set against the backdrop of the metoo campaign and widespread public disclosures of sexual violence and harassment, including long-term effects of trauma, we warmly invite you to this one-day event.
The event brings together practitioners, researchers, policy-makers, third-sector organisations and students to discuss current research and practice concerned with addressing VAWG and offers new directions in research and practice. There is a substantial South Asian diasporic population in the UK, including in particular second and third generation immigrants who have made their homes in Britain and who may continue to have strong transnational affiliations.

Little is known about British South Asian women who are non-heterosexual. This paper provides analysis based on a qualitative research project conducted with lesbian, bisexual and queer British South Asian cisgender women from a range of ethnic, faith and geographical backgrounds. Intersectionality theory is used as a tool in helping illuminate both agentic processes and structural forces of discrimination as experienced by the women who contributed to the study.
The paper helps to address the deficit in transnational intersectionality studies. James W. The book, Contemporary Orangeism in Canada, uses original research and interviews to consider the views of contemporary members of the Orange Order in Canada, including their sense of political and societal purpose, awareness of the decline of influence, views on their present circumstances, and hopes for the future of Orangeism in Canada. In so doing, it details the organisational structure of Canadian society: the role of religion in public life, the changing context of multicultural Canada, and the politics of resistance of a political and social organisation in decline.
It offers a social scientific complement to existing historical work on the role of the Orange Order in Canadian society, and builds upon it through an analysis of contemporary Orangeism. It considers the Orange Order as a worldwide body and makes some comparisons and contrasts with its organisational status and membership in Ireland and elsewhere.
As such, the book makes a distinctive contribution to our knowledge of a fraternal organisation and the role of religious belief and politics in contemporary society. The event brought together 28 expert practitioners in education for democratic citizenship and leaders in education and civil society. The conference saw a range of briefing papers presented on the current state of education for democracy and summaries of previous commissions, inquiries and policy commitments under successive governments.

This was followed by an intense 24 hour workshop where participants discussed how formal and informal education programmes could enhance democratic engagement and participation. A report from the event will be published in early and distributed to policy-makers across the UK. Dr Mycock was invited to give evidence, together with Dr Sarah Mills Loughborough University and Oliver Lee, Chief Executive of The Challenge, on a wide range of issues which links to his research on youth citizenship and democratic engagement.
He provided an overview of the current state of civic engagement amongst young people in the UK, identifying the main barriers the young people face in participating in local and national democracy. He also discussed how volunteering and social action could fit in with democratic engagement and political participation programmes. Dr Mycock also discussed the development of National Citizen Service and the potential to lower the voting age to 16 for all UK elections. Dr Mycock also had written evidence to the committee accepted for publication.
Professor Surya Monro has — with colleagues from Norway, Portugal, and the UK — brought out the first ever Special Edition of a journal dealing with transgender issues from a pan-European perspective. People who do not fit into the traditional ideas of transsexual face particular exclusions and challenges. The collection shows that whilst progress has been made in some areas, there is still much work to do before trans people have full citizenship rights in Europe. Critical Social Policy is a prestigious high-impact international journal and the Editorial Team are delighted to see this collection being published.
Hines, S. ISSN Monro, S. Kuhar, R. A crowd of over fifty people attended the event, with many members of the audience sharing their recollections of the events of two decades ago. Dr Andy Mycock presented ongoing research to a range of audiences during a visit to Australia and New Zealand in September It provided timely analysis of the potential that the Anglosphere and the Commonwealth could aid post-Brexit recalibration of relationships with the UK. This well-attended panel further enhanced the international network of researchers working on the Anglosphere.
He also signed a Memorandum of Understanding between Massey University and the University of Huddersfield during his visit to Auckland. Dr Jackson has published a monograph on Islamophobia in Britain which deals with the ideology of Islamophobia as a cultural racism. The book, published by Routledge, considers a number of pertinent contemporary issues, including no-mosque campaigns, the rise of anti-Islamist social movements and the problematisation of Muslim culture, and offers a new understanding of Islamophobia as a form of Eurocentric spatial dominance.
University of Huddersfield researchers have written a report that calls for a national review of Intersex and DSD medical and social treatment in the UK. Medical guidelines, Intersex advocates and patient association advocates say that it is usually in the best interest of the child to postpone interventions until they are old enough to be involved in the decision-making process. This is because of evidence that early childhood interventions can cause serious long-term negative effects, such as diminished sexual function and serious mental health problems.

Most interview participants felt these interventions are only useful when chosen by the individual themselves. The report acknowledges that medical professionals working in the field are in a very difficult position, as they are trying to support children and families with invisible conditions. However, they point out that society is changing, and there is now much greater value placed on acceptance of difference in general. This makes it possible for care models focusing on the wellbeing of the child to be more developed that previously.
The key recommendations made by the research team include a call for a legal moratorium to prevent unnecessary surgical procedures that are carried out for social as opposed to medical reasons on infants and children too young to give informed consent. They suggest that a National Review of Intersex and Variations of Sex Characteristics policy and practice is urgently needed. They recommend that NHS England, which commissions healthcare, addresses the concerns raised in the report. They also ask for further research and consultation to take place, as the report is based on a small study and more knowledge is needed.
This very interesting conference was held to capacity-build LGBT students who will be working in professions such as the law and Public Relations. LGBT Leaders may face particular barriers, such as homophobia, biphobia, and transphobia, but can also find that their experiences make them well-placed to be creative, innovative, and excellent at communication. For bisexuals, there are specific types of stigmatisation that can affect them in the workplace, such as views that they can be indecisive or untrustworthy.
These unfortunate prejudices can linger on, making it difficult for a bisexual employee to contribute to the workplace to the best of their ability. Professor Monro and the other contributors and delegates myth-busted these stereotypes and discussed the importance of challenging them if they appear.
Educare Alle Differenze [Teaching differences] is an annual two-day anti-discrimination conference for educators that takes place in different Italian cities every year since Thirty educators participated in the workshop, most of whom were previously unaware of Intersex. The aim of the conference is to elaborate concrete tools to be used in various educational settings to promote the valorisation of differences e.

Dr Tray Yeadon-Lee presented a keynote paper at the Open University, as part of the Critical Sexology seminar series on non-binary genders in September The interdisciplinary seminar series is organised by Dr Meg-John Barker and is aimed at psychologists, sociologists, psychoanalysts, medical doctors, literary and cultural studies scholars, philosophers, artists, lawyers, and historians with a critical interest in the construction and management of gender and sexuality in the medical, discursive and cultural spheres. These presentations focused on divergences and similarities of tactics, aims and end goals between the two principle styles of activism and advocacy in this area, social activists and patient associations.
The event brought together academics, journalists, police representatives, charities and community activists to consider why the Midlands has been so attractive to far right groups, the significance of threat in the region and the community response. This timely and apposite volume, co-edited with Dr Kate Smith, who is a Research Fellow in the Centre for Applied Childhood, Youth and Family Research at the University of Huddersfield and Dr Kelly Lockwood, a Lecturer in Criminology at the University of Salford, explores the rich, diverse opportunities and challenges afforded by research that analyses the stories told by, for and about women.
Published by Palgrave MacMillan, the volume brings together feminist scholarship and narrative approaches, it draws on empirical material, social theory and methodological insights to provide examples of feminist narrative studies that make explicit the links between theory and practice.

People born with Intersex variations sometimes known as variations of sex characteristics and medically referred to with the controversial term Disorders of Sex Development DSD are born with variations in their sex characteristics that are perceived to fall outside the socially constructed norms for the male and female body.
The medical treatment of these variations has raised criticism from Intersex people themselves, as well as many UN treaty bodies. This very successful seminar was attended by stakeholders from several sectors including the Police, Local Authorities, and the NHS as well as students, independent practitioners and others.
