Across the globe, we stand at a critical juncture in the history of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) human rights. The continuing struggle for LGBTQ human rights is evident from controversy surrounding the Sochi 2014 Olympics in Russia, to the laws in a number of countries that criminalize the lives of LGBTQ people. But while there have been struggles and setbacks, there have also been extraordinary accomplishments, such as the introduction of same-sex marriage in several countries. We are witnessing a watershed moment in the history of global LGBTQ human rights.

This two-day led by established and emerging global thinkers will be a dynamic, interdisciplinary, comparative discussion of the contemporary global LGBTQ human rights movement.
