  • Episode 2 - Dr Jonathan Galton on Queerness, Islam and the Left
    2024/10/21

    Professor Philip Schofield hosts Social Scientist Dr Jonathan Galton, to explore his research into the perceived political tension on the progressive left between queerness and Islam. Discussing the historical and cultural context surrounding queerness and Islam, they find surprising affinities between Bentham’s writing on freedom of religion and sexual liberty, and the contemporary theological work reinterpreting Quranic verses on homosexuality today.

    Guest: Dr Jonathan Galton (IOE - Social Research Institute, UCL)
