How much do you know about gender & sexuality? /Queer takes us beyond the lens of 'LGBTQ' and Western concepts in this oral histories podcast of human diversity. Across Seasons 1 & 2, gender & sexuality researcher Georgie Williams travels through the USA, Japan, Indonesia, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Malta, Turkey, South Africa and Lesotho- interviewing human rights workers, activists, professors and everyday people whose lived experiences fall under the umbrella of 'gender and sexuality variance'. At the core of this project lies the question- what is 'queer' and where in the world is it found?
