IDAHOBITA* 2022 - Public Lecture: "Queer History"
In this part lecture, part interactive workshop, Dr Jacob Bloomfield (University of Konstanz) will introduce you to queer histories, methodologies, and artefacts. You'll learn some scintillating anecdotes from queer history which will be sure to impress your date to the next the drag ball, and you'll get a chance to walk in the shoes/sequinned heels of a queer historian by analysing some genuine archival sources yourself.
