It was a pleasure to speak at Kearney for their LGBTQ+ History Month event. I enjoyed bringing insights from the research in my new book Queering Normativity and South Asian Public Culture: Wrong Readings Only (2023) to the conversation. Nipun opened by asking about why LGBTQ+ histories are important today especially as we celebrate Pride widely in the workplace and in the UK. It was helpful provocative reminder to reflect on the difficult journey up to this point, but also the long path forward still. While the UK has in the recent past changed quite a few of its laws to make the lives of LGBTQ+ people more equitable, there is still so much work to do here to destigmatize people's lives, to build equitable and inclusive policies drawing on the laws, to resist stereotypes and cultural biases deployed to create divisions between people, especially in relation to women and trans* people, and to continue to work together towards equity for all. It is also important to place LGBTQ+ histories within the context of people's social and cultural background. Many countries are on their own journey in the struggle against the colonial legacy of British laws that remain in their constitutions and have become a part of the cultural fear of differences. LGBTQ+ histories reminds us of the many people who have struggled before us to build a more just place to be ourselves. But these histories give us a chance to place our lives, and the freedoms we enjoy, in context. It marks our responsibility to future generations and the work we still have to do to continue building towards a future where people are free to be in the wholeness of their humanity. My thanks to the team at Kearney for valuing the importance of continuous learning, engaging across so many people's knowledge and expertise, and for the work done by many to set up the conversation. I enjoyed learning from Ethan, Neil, and Nipun. Please continue having these excellent conversations!

This month, we stand proud and united to commemorate Pride Month, a celebration of love, diversity, acceptance, and self-expression. This is not just a time to acknowledge the struggles and victories of the LGBTQ+ community but also to reflect on the importance of creating a more inclusive and empathetic society. As we celebrate Pride, let us also remember the importance of allyship. Being an ally means supporting and standing up for the rights of those who identify as LGBTQ+. It means creating safe spaces at work and in our communities where everyone can be their authentic selves. It requires constant learning, understanding, and committing to equality and justice. This Pride month—and all year round—let's strive to spread love, promote inclusivity, and uplift each other. Because when one of us succeeds, we all do. How are you celebrating Pride month and promoting inclusivity in your community? #PrideMonth #Inclusivity #Allyship

I collaborated with Qrata to highlight the role of workplace policies to promote psychological safety in the work environment for LGBTQ+ employees.

In today's evolving workplace, company policies play a critical role in ensuring an inclusive and supportive environment for all employees, including those who need it the most: the LGBTQ+ community. "I think policies are essential anti-discrimination safeguards and act as necessary checks on the organizational environment. They also go to great lengths in making LGBTQ+ employees feel safe within the organizational climate." — Aritra Chatterjee, clinical psychologist and a member of the LGBTQIA+ community Here are some companies that have created policies that should be replicated to create a more inclusive office for LGBTQ+ individuals.
