University of Bergen is organising “Why (Queer) History Matters: The Politics of History” an international and interdisciplinary conference on 29–30 August 2022. Neglect and erasure of queer history has been the norm in all national histories until quite recently. The conference addresses the ways in which such problematic practice of history can also enable the eradication of LGBT+ rights in contemporary societies. In this conference hear Jayna Kothari and others on how and why queer history matters in different contexts.
