Description: This Project Lab installation features a glossary produced by members of LGBTQ+ youth groups in England. The guide helps us to understand the language used by many young LGBTQ+ people to describe their lives and their identities so that we can better support them through their journey into adulthood. Visitors to this installation can suggest words that you might have included if you were compiling your own glossary of LGBTQ+ words; your contributions will be added to a digital archive produced by the University of Nottingham. Visitors will also have the chance to learn key LGBTQ+ words in British Sign Language, thanks to a collaboration with the charity Deaf Rainbow.

Date: Tuesday 1st October
Location:: A03 Humanities Building
Description: Mauro Puddu (Università Ca' Foscari Venezia) on The Body, The Island and the Empire: A Feminist-Postcolonial Archaeology of Sardinia under Roman Occupation.
