New course on the History of the LGBT+ movement to be launched in August

Three years after the last edition and in response to several requests, Renan Quinalha, a law professor at the Federal University of São Paulo (Unifesp), will launch a new edition of the History of the LGBTI+ Movement and Rights course. The course will take place from August 5 to September 2, with classes every Monday, from 8 pm to 10 pm, in an online format to facilitate participation by everyone, especially the queer community.

There will be five virtual meetings, and the classes will be recorded and will be available to registrants for 30 days after the end of the course. In addition, participants will have access to a set of PDF texts that serve as a basis for the content. Registrations can be made by clicking here.

He is the author of several works on the subject, including “Against Morality and Good Customs: the dictatorship and repression against the LGBT community” (2021) and “LGBTI+ Movement: a brief history from the 19th century to the present day” (2022), winner of the Citizenship and Diversity Award of the São Paulo LGBT Pride Parade and finalist for the Jabuti Award in 2023.
