LGBT History Month was initiated in the United States by an out schoolteacher named Rodney Wilson in 1994. Raised in a fundamentalist The wheel was invented again in 2004 in the United Kingdom by activist Christian family in the conservative midwestern state, Missouri, Wilson and teacher Sue Sanders and other members of Schools Out, a group began to study history as he “outgrew” his childhood religion (Wilson, working to challenge the oppression of LGBT people in the education 2015). His investigations took a personal turn as he started a coming out system, which Sanders co-founded in 1984 (Watters, 2012). Since then the process in his mid-twenties; Wilson explored LGBT history for “meaning, idea has travelled further, and now LHBT history is celebrated as Queer purpose and support” and found that what he learned gave him a “sense of History Month in Berlin, Germany, and as Rainbow History Month in place and potential” (Wilson, 2015). Wilson came out as gay to his high Finland, as just two examples. school students after they viewed a film about the Holocaust. This earned This special issue takes these annual celebrations as a starting point to him a reprimand from the school’s administration, telling him he could interrogate LGBTQI+ issues around museums and activism, a topic that only discuss “homosexuality in class if it was part of the existing history has during the past year experienced quite a boost.

Steven Simpson, who had Asperger’s syndrome, a speech impairment and epilepsy, was covered in self-tanning oil and set alight in the early hours of 23 June last year. Jordan Sheard, 20, was sentenced at Sheffield Crown Court after pleading guilty to manslaughter. A judge heard how as Simpson became more drunk, homophobic insults were scrawled on his arm and stomach, told to strip to his boxers and encouraged to dance around. After 2am, a partygoer took tanning oil from Simpson’s bedroom and poured it over the host. The court heard Sheard then held a cigarette lighter to Simpson’s groin, and instantly the highly flammable liquid caught alight and flames engulfed his body.

  • Emptiness and Its Futures Staying and Leaving As Tactics of Life in Latvia
    Emptiness and its futures Staying and leaving as tactics of life in Latvia Dace Dzenovska Abstract: In the past 25 years, rural Latvia has become notably emptier. Th is emp- tying is the result of post-Soviet deindustrialization and large-scale outmigration, enabled by EU accession and exacerbated by the 2008 fi nancial crisis. It is accom- panied by lack of political protest, leading many to conclude that migration hinders political mobilization. Such conclusions derive from viewing leaving and staying as actions in relation to the state. Instead, leaving and staying should be viewed in relation to transnational forms of power. Th e people leaving the de industrialized Latvian countryside to work in the English countryside are seeking futures past, namely, futures of stable employment and incremental prosperity. Th ose who stay in the emptying Latvian countryside create the future as a little bit more of the present.

  • Symbolic Structure of the Post-Soviet Transformations in Latvia and Emigration: Avoiding Shame and Striving for Hope and Confidence
    SYMBOLIC STRUCTURE OF THE POST-SOVIET TRANSFORMATIONS IN LATVIA AND EMIGRATION: AVOIDING SHAME AND STRIVING FOR HOPE AND CONFIDENCE by IVETA ĶEŠ ĀNE B.S., Latvian Culture Academy, 2005 M.S., Alberts Ludwigs University and Kwazulu-Natal University, 2008 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Sociology, Anthropology and Social Work College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2016 Abstract This dissertation explores the case of emigration from Latvia towards the West after collapse of the Soviet Union. It takes the perspective of a particular cultural structure that came to dominate post-Soviet Latvia and adopts the vantage point of the state-society relationships this structure has cast. The central question of this study examines: what is the relationship between the cultural structure in post-Soviet Latvia and emigration towards the West? This study answers this question by contrasting Latvia’s civil discourse with emigrants’ and those who remain in Latvia personal narratives through the lens of cultural sociology that emphasizes the role of the symbolic realm, meaning making, and emotions. Research findings suggested that the post- Soviet cultural structure was dominated by “symbolic codes” (Alexander and Smith, 1993) or sharp divides such as West vs. East/Soviet, Right vs. Left, and Developed vs. Underdeveloped. Notably, symbolic codes of West, Right and Developed were constructed as “sacred” while their opposites were pushed out of “sacred” and ridiculed. These divides originated from such particular emotions as shame, confidence/pride and fear. Their meanings in the dominant transformation discourse and emotional origins were formative to the identity and modern state craft, and subjectivities in post-Soviet Latvia.

  • Sexual Orientation / Gender Identity References U.S. Department of State Human Rights Reports for 2011 (Released May 24, 2012)
    Sexual Orientation / Gender Identity References U.S. Department of State Human Rights Reports for 2011 (Released May 24, 2012) The Department of State’s 2011 Human Rights Report catalogues an ongoing range of abuses and discriminatory treatment directed at lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people worldwide – starkly underscoring what Secretary Hillary Clinton has called “…one of the remaining human rights challenges of our time.” Speaking in Geneva on December 6, 2011, Secretary Clinton noted that, too often, LGBT people remain an “invisible minority,” members of which “…are arrested, beaten, terrorized, even executed…” while “…authorities empowered to protect them look the other way or, too often, even join in the abuse.” The newly released report bears witness to such abuse. Most disturbingly, it documents that police, other government security forces, and prison personnel have been implicated directly in the harassment or abuse of LGBT citizens in a range of countries, including (but not limited to) Afghanistan, Cameroon, Cote d’Ivoire, El Salvador, Guatemala, India, Indonesia, Kuwait, Kyrgyz Republic, and Panama. Harassment and abuse often were directed in particular at transgender individuals. In Turkey, a range of LGBT organizations complained of harassment by police and government authorities. In Cote d’Ivoire, the report notes that “gay men were reportedly subjected to beatings, imprisonment, verbal abuse, humiliation, and extortion by police, gendarmes, and members of the armed forces.” The report also describes broader patterns of discrimination against LGBT individuals in many areas of the world. In Sierra Leone and India, LGBT people have been denied basic social services, from health services to housing.

  • 1 the Moral Dimensions of Economic Life in Eastern Europe, Russia, And
    The Moral Dimensions of Economic Life in Eastern Europe, Russia, and Eurasia 20th and 21st of March, 2019 Organizers: Nicolette Makovicky (University of Oxford), Jörg Wiegratz (University of Leeds), Dimitra Kofti (Panteion University) Please send abstracts of max. 250 words to [email protected] by February 1st, 2019. Morality and ethics have recently become a central theme in the Social Sciences, leading to a revival and revaluation of the concept of ‘moral economy’ (Götz 2015, Sayer 2015, Palomera and Vetta 2016). A growing range of scholarship now employs the term to analyse, amongst others, political conflicts, resistance, and social movements; patterns of economic relationships and behaviour – including consumption, subsistence, and resource use; youth and migration; as well as fraud, corruption, and violence (Wheeler and Gluckmann 2016, Whyte and Wiegratz 2016). Morality and moral economy are also increasingly being used as a lens through which to study the ways in which the increasing neo- liberalization of society is reshaping moral-economic orders and reformulating, for instance, welfare, citizenship, and humanitarian aid (Fassin 2012, Muehlebach 2012, Wiegratz 2016, Sliwinski 2018). And finally, in the wake of the global financial crisis, scholars have begun to turn their attention to moral economies of precarity, labour, and debt, as well as economies of hope and value (Narotsky and Besnier 2014, Knight and Stewart 2016, Stubbs and Žitko 2018). This engagement with the morality-economy nexus stands in contrast with orthodox views and mainstream analyses - especially in much of economics and parts of political economy study - which tend to exclude morality from the investigation and understanding of economic life.
