LGBT History Month Logo

What was life like for lesbian and bisexual women in Soviet Russia? How have public images of homosexuality changed in post-communist Poland? Does geographic location matter, when sexuality and gender are concerned? How do the stories of women from Eastern Europe differ from those of Scottish women?

To find out more and share your thoughts, join us at  this LGBT History Month event. Open to all those interested in the subject regardless of gender, sexual orientation, ethnic background or political views.

The evening will feature talks by Francesca Stella and Elwira Grossman, followed by discussion and refreshments.

The event is co-organised by LGBT History Month, the AHRC knowledge exchange initiative Translating Russian and East European Cultures and the Centre for Russian, Central and East European Studies, University of Glasgow.
