Manage episode 431767989 series 2088874
On this week's episode of Justice Matters, co-host Diego Garcia Blum talks with Kristopher Velasco, Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology at Princeton University about his research on the global anti-LGBTQI movement. Professor Velasco’s research centers on the intersections of global & transnational sociology, organizations, political sociology, culture, and sexuality. Globally, he investigates how transnational advocacy networks, NGOs, and international institutions facilitate the expansion of LGBTQI rights around the world by changing cultural understandings of gender and sexuality. This line of research, and the backlash these processes invite, is the subject of Kristopher's current book project. In this episode he discusses the global anti-LGBTQI movement, how it is organized and who are the primary players, what connection it has to global geopolitical trends, how the movement is financed, regional success and backlash to the movement, and what advice he has for LGBTQI activists.
