Library and Learning Services are celebrating LGBTQIA+ History Month. February is the month all over the world where we look at the history of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex and Asexual otherwise known as LGBTQIA+
Have a look at some of the resources we have put together that looks at the challenges and triumphs, supporting LGBTQIA+ folks in UON, interesting LGBTQIA+ historical figures, media representation, rights issues, and more below! We have also made an LGBTQIA+ Reading List full of books, films and articles so have a look at some of the resources that UON have.
Medicine – #UnderTheScope
The 2024 theme celebrates LGBTQIA+ peoples’ contribution to the field of Medicine and Healthcare both historically and today.
We want to showcase the amazing work of LGBTQIA+ staff across the NHS and in other healthcare settings, in providing healthcare, especially during the pandemic. Whilst still shining a light on the history of the LGBTQIA+ community’s experience of receiving healthcare which has been extremely complicated leaving LGBTQIA+ people still facing health inequalities even today.
