Queer Diasporas at Sea

Esplicito

We are back and bringing you more incredible oral histories from around the world in Season Two of /Queer. In our first episode of this season we find ourselves en route to Malta aboard the Götheborg of Sweden- the largest ocean-faring wooden vessel in the world- where gender & sexuality researcher Georgie Williams documents some of the history of 'queer' culture at sea. To understand more of where this exists in the modern age, Georgie interviews Eli Gafvelin; the transgender carpenter who works aboard this unexpectedly progressive ship.

Thank you to all of you who continue to listen and support us. If you wish to help this project on our Season 2 journey into 2023, you can sign up as one of our lovely patrons at patreon.com/slashqueer. You can also browse our /Queer merchandise at
