Episode description
Dr Senthorun Raj discusses how his queer career as a glitter radiating
academic lawyer began with childhood fantasies of being Xena and Sailor
Moon.
Dr Senthorun Raj is a Lecturer in Law at Keele University and is passionate about glitter, pop culture, politics, and social justice. Sen's academic and activist work takes an intersectional approach to addressing the ways law deals with the lives of queer minorities. He is the chair of Black Gold Arts and serves on the board of Amnesty International UK. Prior to taking up a lectureship in the UK, Sen was a Scholar in Residence at NYU School of Law's Center for Human Rights and Global Justice and a Churchill Fellow. He has also worked as the Senior Policy Advisor for the NSW Gay and Lesbian Rights Lobby and served on the boards of Amnesty International Australia and ACON Health.
