Autorenporträt

Kath Browne is Professor of Geography at University College Dublin, Ireland. Her research focuses on social justice and inequalities, specifically around gender and sexualities. She has worked with those marginalised because of their sexual and gender identities, exploring how lives can be ameliorated in ways that take place seriously. She has also worked on those who are opposed to sexual and gender equalities, developing the concept of heteroactivism. She leads the Beyond Opposition research project.

Dhiren attained his PhD from Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi on queer cartographies of desires in Delhi. His research engages with sexual mappings and makings of cities from an intersectional and decolonial lens both among queer spaces in India and in diasporic queer worldings.
