SUMMARY:Pinkwashing\, Gender and Sexuality with Makan and Birkbeck Institute of Gender and Sexuality (Public Lecture)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a public lecture on the historical and contemporary counterpoints of pinkwashing\, jointly organised by the Birkbeck Institute of Gender and Sexuality and Makan\, whose transformative education strengthens the movement for Palestinian liberation. The lecture will contextualise pinkwashing as a conflation of queerness and nationalist ideology\, or the “queer branding” of racism\, xenophobia\, and Islamophobia. Makan will draw on archival materials and anti-colonial strands of gender theory\, attending to topics such as white savourism\, colonial masculinities\, gay assimilation and queer resistance. Birkbeck postgraduate researchers have the opportunity to remain for an afternoon workshop with Makan on anti-colonial research skills\, collaborating to develop interdisciplinary theoretical knowledge and methods for analysing\, evaluating\, and resisting pinkwashing. \nSpeakers \n\nDr Penn Newell Penn Newell (they/them) is a queer writer\, researcher and Lecturer in Creative & Critical Writing at Birkbeck\, University of London. Some of their writing can be found here.\nSarona Bedwan – Sarona Bedwan is a writer and Outreach & Programmes Manager at Makan\, a Palestinian led educational organisation.\n\nWhen: 4 July 2025\, 10:00 — 12:00\nVenue: Birkbeck Central \nBook your place
