LGBT+ Rights in a Time of Pandemic: The Michael Dillon LGBT+ Lectures Launch Event

We are delighted to announce the launch of a flagship new University of Oxford lecture series, The Michael Dillon LGBT+ Lectures, with a discussion about LGBT+ rights, featuring a distinguished panel of guests:

* Lord Smith of Finsbury, the first openly gay MP and Cabinet minister
* Justice Edwin Cameron, former Justice of the Constitutional Court of South Africa
* Zing Tsjeng, executive editor of Vice UK, BBC Sounds host, and author of The Forgotten Women book series
* CN Lester, classical singer, curator, and author of 'trans like me'
* Jonathan Cooper OBE, human rights and international law barrister

The Michael Dillon LGBT+ Lectures, which will be hosted at St Anne's College, will be at the centre of the University’s commitment to its LGBT+ community and will 'help to shape the national and international conversation about LGBT+ issues'. The lectures will be held twice annually and will be given by prominent LGBT+ individuals from outside of academia who have attained positions of outstanding achievement in their fields.
