How much do you know about gender & sexuality? /Queer takes us beyond the lens of 'LGBTQ' and Western concepts in this oral histories podcast of human diversity. Across Seasons 1 & 2, gender & sexuality researcher Georgie Williams travels through the USA, Japan, Indonesia, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Malta, Turkey, South Africa and Lesotho- interviewing human rights workers, activists, professors and everyday people whose lived experiences fall under the umbrella of 'gender and sexuality variance'. At the core of this project lies the question- what is 'queer' and where in the world is it found?

Motsoalle Relationships of Lesotho
Episode 25
Sunday, 2 June, 2024
In our final episode of Season Two of /Queer, we interview Dr Mamoeketsi Ntho from the Ministry of Gender, Youth, Sports and Recreation in the Lesotho Government. In our investigations into Motsoalle relationships- relationships which blurred the boundaries of platonic and romantic love between Mosotho girls- we come to understand how ideas of kinship have been impacted by Eurocentrism. Delving into the complexities of defining womanhood, sexuality and kinship across African communities, this episode investigates how Motsoalle relationships were maintained- and lost- in the culture of Lesotho- and what this means for understanding human connection through the lens of a heterogeneous African continent.As we close Season Two, we have high hopes for our future content- across South America, the Pacific Islands and beyond.
