4_01 Catherine Lee Legacies of Section 28

Professor Catherine Lee of Anglia Ruskin University in conversation with Syeda Ali about her research into Section of the Local Government Act which was passed in the UK in 1988. The law prohibited the 'promotion' of 'homosexuality' by local authorities in state schools and was the first anti gay-propaganda law. Lee reflects on her time as teacher during Section 28, and subsequently as a researcher and campaigner for LGBTQ+ teachers'.
