This two-day interdisciplinary event focuses on Roma queer and feminist activism, performance and scholarship in Europe, with a transnational perspective; it will reflect on strategies and alliances, including between Roma and non-Roma people, across borders and disciplines in the current climate of heightened heteropatriarchal nationalisms. Joining the session are multidisciplinary artists Mihaela Drăgan, Dr Lucie Fremlova, and Dr Angela Kóczé.

This event is free and has a limited number of spaces. Please ensure that if you register, you are committed to attending the entire day. Please cancel your ticket if you can no longer attend so that somebody from the waiting list can join. Registration is free but a specific number of places are reserved for Techne-funded students. Please ensure that you are registered to the correct ticket type. 

‘Roma Feminist & Queer Perspectives: Performance, Scholarship, Activism’ is led by Dr Ioana Szeman and co-organised with Giulia Casalini, Clare Daly, Lena Fingu-Gharbi (University of Roehampton, UK). It is part of the Techne Conflux series ‘Queer Feminist Currents’, a two-year collaboration amongst researchers at the University of Roehampton and Royal Holloway, University of London. A series of research events are designed to provide a framework for interrogating key points of convergence and tension in contemporary queer, intersectional feminist and gender studies, decolonial critique, as well as theory and practice as interrelated.
