Queer Identity and Animal Symbolism in Nationalism

This week we're exploring links between queer liberation and animal subjugation, and discovering how the struggles for acceptable queer identity are often entwined with entrenching animal exploitation. Along the way we get into some fascinating history of sexual violence, colonial constructs of the human, and those ever-shifting categories of "natural" and "deviant" behaviour.

This program includes themes of sexual assault and animal abuse that some listeners may find distressing.
