LGBTQ+ and Human Rights History Panel
What can the history of LGBTQIA+ rights tell us about the meaning and limits of universal human rights?
In recognition of LGBTQIA+ History Month, the Gender & Sexuality Resource Center will host an interdisciplinary conversation exploring the historical relationship between LGBTQIA+ movements and the broader human-rights project. Faculty panelists will consider how ideas of equality, dignity, universality, and non-discrimination have been applied to LGBTQIA+ communities, as well as the historical gap between the promise of universal rights and the exclusion of LGBTQIA+ people from legal and social protections.
The conversation will trace the evolution from criminalization and marginalization toward expanding legal recognition and human-rights protections, while placing LGBTQIA+ history within a broader global context. Panelists will also consider the roles of courts, states, international institutions, and social movements in shaping LGBTQIA+ rights and discuss contemporary challenges and unresolved questions.
The event will conclude with an audience Q&A and an informal reception with Insomnia cookies and refreshments, giving students, faculty, and community members a chance to continue the conversation.
