Event Details

Drinks and snacks provided.

 

Paris Is Burning is a 1990 American documentary film directed by Jennie Livingston. Filmed in the mid-to-late 1980s, it chronicles the ball culture of New York City and the African-American, Latino, gay, and transgender communities involved in it. The film is considered to be an invaluable documentary of the end of the "Golden Age" of New York City drag balls, and critics have praised it as a thoughtful exploration of race, class, gender, and sexuality in America. Running time: 76min approx.

 

Talking Transgender introduces a group of transgender individuals who candidly share their personal stores with compassion, honesty and humour, to widen knowledge, to increase understanding and to promote an awareness of transgender issues. Running time: 26min approx.

Spectrum - LSE LGBT+ Staff Network

Spectrum is the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender + (LGBT+) Staff Network at the London School of Economics and Political Science. 

This network is a staff initiative, which sees it in their collective interests to build a representative body in order, primarily, to promote the interests of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender staff and to give them a stronger sense of visibility and presence in all aspects of the life of the School. Secondarily, we see our initiative as a positive for the School's diversity agenda and as an important aspect of achieving a key goal in the School's Strategic Plan.

Don't miss out on Spectrum events - contact spectrum@lse.ac.uk and ask to join our mailing list. You can follow Spectrum on Twitter to keep up to date with LGBT news, information and activities around London and beyond.
