Love, Law, and Liberty: A Queer History of UK/US Relations
A lecture by British Library Curator Steven Dryden
Wednesday, April 18, 4-6 pm
Thompson Room, Barker Center 110
12 Quincy Street, Cambridge, MA
Free and open to the public

Archivist Steven Dryden will present a multi-media history of the struggle for sexual liberation and equality in the UK and explore relationships that grew through cross-pollination with movements in the US. Drawing on campaign materials, oral history recordings, film, literary and theatrical manuscripts, official publications, and ephemera, Dryden will take us from an 1835 execution, via the trials of Oscar Wilde, to the activist communities of the Homosexual Law Reform Society, Gay Liberation Front UK, and OutRage! – tracing a transnational history that is still being written, contested and contextualized.

This event is presented as part of BGLTQ UK: A week of events with British Library curator Steven Dryden. For the other events presented in this series, click here.
