08.05.2025 Public Lecture: "Dissident Genders and Sexualities in the Andes: Interventions in Transitional Justice"

The lecture will explore how dissident genders and sexualities in the Andes challenge and reshape transitional justice in Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia.

Dissident Genders and Sexualities in the Andes: Interventions in Transitional Justice employs a qualitative and humanistic social science approach to examine the resistance practices of people of non-normative genders and sexualities to armed conflict, political repression, and authoritarian regimes in Peru, Ecuador and Colombia. This analysis uplifts activists’ efforts to reimagine truth, peace, reparations, and justice, thereby recasting the normative, institutional, methodological, and epistemological parameters of the TJ scholarship and practice.
