Light On! Queer Literatures and Cultures under Socialism

We are a research group with a passion for queer literary and cultural histories. We work to uncover yet unknown queer literary cultures under socialism. Our research is funded by the Volkswagen Foundation (Freigeist fellowship, 1.4 mil. Euros, 2022 - 2028).
