Podcast hosts Beck Lloyd and Khadijah Roberts-Abdullah prepare you for this intense and exciting conversation about "Queer History in Canada." As they say, there are lessons to be learned and reminders that need to be reinvigorated; through this episode we traverse the multitudes of movements weaving together our Canadian history.
Scholars and experts join moderator Thom Allison (director of Rent) in a conversation about Canada’s 2SLGBTQ+ history, focusing on post-WW2 through to the present. Guests include Rev. Brent Hawkes, founder of Rainbow Faith and Freedom (an organization working to confront and decrease religious-based 2SLGBTQ+ discrimination worldwide), Raegan Swanson, Executive Director of the ArQuives (the preeminent archivists for 2SLGBTQ+ histories and resources in Canada) and Professor Patrizia Gentile from the Institute of Interdisciplinary Studies at Carleton University. Introduced by Stratford Festival Board Member Brian Rolfes.
This panel discussion was recorded on June 10, 2023.
