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?

    Motsoalle Relationships of Lesotho

    In our final episode of Season Two of /Queer, we interview Dr Mamoeketsi Ntho from the Ministry of Gender, Youth, Sports and Recreation in the Lesotho Government. In our investigations into Motsoalle relationships- relationships which blurred the boundaries of platonic and romantic love between Mosotho girls- we come to understand how ideas of kinship have been impacted by Eurocentrism. Delving into the complexities of defining womanhood, sexuality and kinship across African communities, this episode investigates how Motsoalle relationships were maintained- and lost- in the culture of Lesotho- and what this means for understanding human connection through the lens of a heterogeneous African continent. As we close Season Two, we have high hopes for our future content- across South America, the Pacific Islands and beyond.

    Pride and Struggle: Gendered and Sexual Freedoms in South Africa

    In our last episode in South Africa and penultimate episode of Season Two, we compare and contrast the lives and stories of two South Africans, as we reflect on the history of gender & sexuality activism during and post Apartheid. We speak first to Mark Gory, the man who took on the Constitutional Court of South Africa to secure inheritance rights for non-married gay South Africans in 2006. Our second conversation takes place with Cwenga Titi, a young transgender woman on the Eastern Cape, navigating the complexities of modern womanhood and the traditionally male Xhosa coming-of-age ritual she wishes to partake in. At the intersection of the two we look at South Africa- past and present- and consider what the future of a proud South Africa looks like. We are on the precipice of our Season Two finale- but that still means months of work ahead to bring you high-quality, well-researched historical content.

    Homosexuality and Islam: Bridging the Divide

    In our first episode in South Africa, we investigate the experiences and welfare of the oft-misrepresented queer muslim community. In the heart of Cape Town we interview Imam Muhsin Hendricks- the world's first openly queer imam- and learn about his work interpreting the Qur'an and confronting the use of its passages to propagate homophobic harm. As we address this sensitive and controversial topic, we seek to understand how one bridges the divide between their sexuality and their faith as a queer muslim.Thank you as always to those who continue to to listen and support us.

    The Maltese Body: Gender, Sex and Catholicism, Pt.1

    In Episode 20 we start our investigations into the gender and sexuality diverse culture within Malta. In the first episode of this two-parter, we interview gynaecologist and transgender healthcare specialist Dr Chiara Frendo-Balzan about the climate of gendered healthcare in Malta.
