Sharepic "Fighting the Backlash"

This evening we will discuss potentials of a gay and queer history as well as the situation of the LGBTQ community in the United States and here in Erfurt. We will open the evening with a lecture by US historian David Johnson, whose current project focuses on a history of LGBT issues in presidential politics. The contribution will be commented on by the US historian Steve Estes, who has conducted an interview project with gay and lesbian veterans and is currently a visiting professor at the University of Erfurt. Franziska Kosian will add a local perspective to these contributions and talk about her experiences working at the Queer Center Erfurt. The evening will be moderated by historian Helen Gibson. The event will be in English.
