Dr Rahul Rao: The Queer Politics of Postcoloniality (EISPS Global Politics Remix 2021: Decolonial, Black and Queer Perspectives)
Between 2009 and 2014, an anti-homosexuality law circulating in the Ugandan parliament came to be the focus of a global conversation about queer rights. The law attracted attention for the draconian nature of its provisions and for the involvement of US evangelical Christian activists who were said to have lobbied for its passage. Focusing on the Ugandan case, this book seeks to understand the encounters and entanglements across geopolitical divides that produce and contest contemporary queerphobias. It investigates the impact and memory of the colonial encounter on the politics of sexuality, the politics of religiosity of different Christian denominations, and the political economy of contemporary homophobic moral panics.

Liberating the Curriculum
Working closely with UCLU Liberation Networks and UCL Equalities and Diversity, the aim of this collaboration is to challenge the current Euro-centric, white-hegemonic, male-dominated curriculum. We will work to find ways of putting black, queer, disabled, and feminist contributions and critiques on an equal footing, in the curriculum. Our aim is to ensure that knowledge from these marginalised knowledge producers is fairly represented in UCL curricula, and acknowledged as mainstream, rather than as ‘other’ and different from that produced by the dominant social category.
