Uncovering Politics: LGBT+ Politics

Uncovering Politics: LGBT+ Politics
This week we ask: What explains successes and setbacks in the promotion of LGBT+ rights? And is political science as welcoming as it should be towards LGBT+ research? EPISODE NOTES The transformation of LGBT+ lives in many societies has been one of the greatest advances of the last half century. Where previously there was criminalization and ostracism, today – often – there is inclusion and celebration. But this has not happened equally everywhere, or for all LGBT+ people. And in some places, and on some issues, there are strong counter-movements. This week we are joined by one of our newest colleagues at the UCL Department of Political Science: Phillip Ayoub, Professor of International Relations. Mentioned in this episode: When States Come Out. Europe's Sexual Minorities and the Politics of Visibility. Cambridge University Press.
