Why Queer History? with Dr Justin Bengry

from Queer Recollections · host Will Hecker

Why is queer history important? Which narratives tend to dominate? And who gets to tell these histories? These are some of the questions I talk about with Dr Justin Bengry, a historian of sexuality and convener of the world's first Queer History MA. He introduces us to this infinitely diverse subject and its common pitfalls, discusses his experiences in convening the new degree course, and talks about getting emotional in the archives. Music credit: Trip to Ganymed (ID 363) by KieLoKaz Creative Commons License (BY-NC-ND)
