While there are multiple LGBTQ+ communities in the UK, something that unites them is resilience in the face of crisis. Queer Britain, the national LGBTQ+ museum, has launched "Queer Pandemic," a remote-video oral history project. In this presentation, clips from the project will be shared along with a discussion about the research findings and ongoing field work, as well as a conversation about the challenges of conducting research during this pandemic.

 Molly Merryman Ph.D. is the research director for Queer Britain, and the founding director of the Centre for the Study of Gender and Sexuality and an Associate Professor in the School of Peace and Conflict Studies at Kent State University (US). She is the vice president of the International Visual Sociology Association and is a filmmaker and author.

The talk will be followed by a response from Tristan Craig, History Student Society and student rep on HCA Equality and Diversity Committee and Dr Hatice Yildiz, Lecturer in Modern Gender History.
