Hello, we’re Lucien and Shy, and we are this summer’s IASH interns under the University’s Employ.ed on Campus Internship Scheme. We’re looking forward to supporting and contributing to the exciting work being done at IASH, RACE.ED, and genderED over the coming twelve weeks.
Near the end of May, IASH was one of nearly 50 organisations worldwide represented at the Inaugural General Assembly of BRIDGES, an ‘open-ended and inclusive voluntary coalition of intergovernmental, governmental and non-governmental organisations, institutes, formal projects and formal networks organised under the umbrella of UNESCO’, in particular UNESCO’s Management of Social Transformations Programme (MOST).

Abstract:
“Screening Queer Memory is a timely, exuberant research of contemporary cinematic constructions of personal and communal queer memories, histories, legacies and heritages. It provides a genuine, fresh perspective on the intricate interrelations between queer histories and queer cinemas.” – Gilad Padva, Tel Aviv University, Israel
IASH is delighted to support the launch of Dr Anamarija Horvat’s book Screening Queer Memory: LGBTQ Pasts in Contemporary Film and Television (Bloomsbury, 2021). Screening Queer Memory interrogates how contemporary cinema and television have commented on the specificity of queer memory - how they have reflected aspects of its construction, as well as participated in its creation.
