SUMMARY:Dignity in Dialogue: Joy\, Reflections\, Resistance – LGBTIQ+ Lived Realities in Africa: Scholarly and Activist Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:Register for Dignity in Dialogue’s upcoming session on June 18th from 10:00 AM- 11:30 PM EDT.  \nDignity Network Canada\, in collaboration with the Center for Gender Studies and Feminist Futures (CGS) and the Center for Conflict Studies (CCS) at Philipps-University Marburg\, Germany\, and the Centre for Human Rights at the University of Pretoria\, South Africa\, invites you to a special virtual edition of Dignity in Dialogue to celebrate the launch of Joy\, Reflections\, Resistance – LGBTIQ+ Lived Realities in Africa: Scholarly and Activist Perspectives. \nCo-edited by Mariel Reiss and Ayodele Sogunro\, this newly published book brings together scholarly and activist perspectives on the diverse lived realities of LGBTIQ+ communities across Africa. The book emerged from the Pretoria-Marburg Queer Conversations webinar series\, which fosters dialogue and knowledge exchange between academics and activists while centering African experiences\, expertise\, and leadership. \nWe are so excited to welcome the book’s contributors to speak at this session: \n\nNaledi Mpanza (Centre for Human Rights\, University of Pretoria)\nMonica Tabengwa (UNDP)\nAdrian Jjuuko (Makerere University)\nKhanyisile Phillips (Independent Activist)\nBelinda Qaqamba Makinana (Gender Dynamix)\nMadeleine Muller (Water Sisulu University)\n\nThe conversation will be moderated by Thiruna Naidoo (Outright International) \nJoin the editors and contributors as they discuss the motivations behind the book\, the realities facing queer communities across Africa today\, and the possibilities for transnational solidarity in a rapidly changing world. \nWhat can Canadian audiences learn from the resilience\, creativity\, and leadership of queer activists across Africa? How can international allies engage in meaningful solidarity while respecting local contexts and priorities? And what role can scholarship play in advancing dignity\, inclusion\, and human rights? \nThere will be simultaneous EN-FR and FR-EN interpretation available. \nAttend here!
