From 31 May – 21 June 2022 the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Lancaster University will host a series of events that will contribute to the decolonisation of women’s studies through celebrating the political, literary, artistic, spiritual and reformist achievements of women of colour, especially those who are affiliated with other marginalized communities, such as the disabled, or LGBTQ+ communities.
It will begin with a hybrid interdisciplinary symposium, Bearing Untold Stories from 31 May – 1 June, hosted by the Department of English Literature and Creative Writing.
This event will be followed by a three-week public exhibition at the Lancaster Priory, Queering the Dream, in honour of LGBTQ Pride Month from 11–21 June, sponsored by the Lancaster Friends.
The exhibit will feature the work of Rev. Dr Angela Yarber: a leading LGBT+ theologian and feminist artist.
To mark the opening of the exhibition, Rev. Dr. Yarber will lead a public workshop, Decolonizing Women’s Spirituality, at the Lancaster Priory from 11am – 3pm on 11 June, sponsored by the FASS Decolonising Lancaster University Events Fund.
We hope you will join us in celebrating the lives and achievements of women of color, both virtually and in-person, across the month of June.
If would like to know more about these events, please contact the lead-organizer, Dr Azelina Flint, of the Department of English and Creative Writing.
