LGBTQ+ activism and the feminist movement constituted an increasingly important part of Russian civil society in recent years. After a new stage of Russia's invasion of Ukraine started on February 24, feminists and LGBTQ+ activists became those who, at the same time, oppose this war and continue to develop civil society and an alternative vision of Russia鈥檚 future. They fight Putin鈥檚 militarism and chauvinism, combined with patriarchal hyper-masculine politics, and support the most vulnerable Russians forgotten or discriminated against by the society and Putin鈥檚 state. This Summer Seminar will discuss the development of feminist and LGBTQ+ activism in Russia in the last years and its perspectives. The event will bring together scholars from different countries and activists, bloggers, and civil rights defenders to create an interdisciplinary discussion between academics and activists, which was always crucial for gender and sexuality studies. All four webinars of the series are free. Registration required.聽
