On Queer Funding, #metoo, and Giving Gay People a Bad Name

Abstract

Förhandsvisning av texten:

As we put the finishing touches on the last and open issue of 2017 in dark November, it seems that two discussions are peaking, at least where we are located. One is the annual one that erupts after the national funding bodies announce whose belabored grant applications have been granted, typically in Sweden that is 8–11% of all submitted proposals. The other one is the growing discussion about #metoo, focusing primarily, but not only, on (hetero)sexual harassment of women by men in major cultural and educational institutions and in society more broadly.
