Long tails and important outcomes. Finally, it's live - the website for the report, "Conversion Therapy' and the University of Birmingham c.1966-1983'!

There's material about the history, the project, its organisation, and there are resources there too.

“Reconsidering the Lady Squatters within a truth-telling framework allows a deeper understanding to emerge: one that recognises the curious intersection of the economic, the imperial, and the queer.”

Next in our #pride series, Jacobin Bosman situates the lives of Anne Drysdale & Caroline Newcomb “within ongoing Indigenous truth-telling efforts and asks how queer historical recovery must also reckon with complicity and settler capitalism.” #LGBTQ+History #pridemonth
