This event is part of the University of Manchester’s Sexuality Summer School (SSS) 2025 public events programme on the theme of Intergenerationality. Our discussions draw together debates in gender, sexuality and critical race studies about how generationality has marked and regulated certain bodies, spaces and resources in particular times and contexts. Our public events examine how knowledge, creative practice and activism in the past have shaped current intellectual and political agendas, as well as artistic forms and collaborations.
