Abstract:
This workshop is the product of a research study exploring the strategies that queer people develop to navigate hegemonic, heteropatriarchal health care systems, and ways that nurse education can incorporate a narrative-based, whole person care approach to understanding and supporting the needs of queer patients. This mixed-methods study included interviews with queer people, nurse educators and practicing nurses; textual analysis of queer health narratives; close reading of queer, feminist and cultural theory; and autoethnography.Some of the questions that we will explore are: How do queers use personal narratives to help navigate health care systems not designed to see/meet their needs? How do queers challenge dominant power structures in medicine? What does whole person care look like in a queer context? What would nurses like to see included in nursing education, and what do queers want health providers to know? What are the key pedagogical challenges in attempting such communication?The stories that queer people carry with them to medical encounters are a rich and underutilized resource for health care providers, and a tool for patients trying to manage serious or chronic illness. We will explore methods for including storytelling in nursing education as well as patient care, and participants will engage in a narrative medicine/autoethnographic exercise.We hope participants will leave our workshop with a better understanding of queer peoples' experiences of health care, and ways that queers and nurses can work together for better health outcomes.

Abstract:
By centralizing the experiences of seven, urban, self-identified Two-Spirit Indigenous people in Toronto, this paper addresses the settler-colonial complexities that arise within contemporary queer politics: how settler colonialism has seeped into Pride Toronto's contemporary Queer politics to normalize White queer settler subjectivities and disavow Indigenous Two-Spirit subjectivities. Utilizing Morgensen's settler homonationalism, the authors underscore that contemporary Queer politics in Canada rely on the eroticization of Two-Spirit subjectivities, Queer settler violence, and the production of (White) Queer narratives of belonging that simultaneously promote the inclusion and erasure of Indigenous presence. Notwithstanding Queer settler-colonial violence, Two-Spirit peoples continue to engage in settler resistance by taking part in Pride Toronto and problematizing contemporary manifestations of settler homonationalism. Findings highlight the importance of challenging the workings of settler colonialism within contemporary Queer politics in Canada, and addressing the tenuous involvements of Indigenous Two-Spirit peoples within Pride festivals. The article challenges non-Indigenous Queers of color, racialized diasporic, and White, to consider the value of a future that takes seriously the conditions of settler colonialism and White supremacy.

Abstract:
Participants who self-identified as heterosexual (N=149) and queer (N=141) were asked to read a vignette containing a character who used either heterosexist or non-heterosexist language. Queer participants were expected to rate the character using non-heterosexist language as more: (a) supportive of queer rights; (b) exposed to queer people; (c) likely to be queer; (d) open to new ideas; (e) politically liberal; and (f) someone with whom they could be friends than heterosexual participants. Results showed that both groups made attributions based on language; however, queer participants made stronger attributions. One explanation for our findings suggests that queer individuals, particularly males, may have a greater need to be vigilant in their identification of supportive others.

Abstract:
Monsters have an established presence on screen as a cipher for queer identities. However, such presentations are often limiting, with queer monsters being either irredeemably evil or eliciting viewer sympathies for their helpless monstrous condition. Both forms of queer monster are highly queerphobic, but the issue this article takes with this representational binary is that it stifles the depictions of monstrous queer characters. To offer a counterpoint, I draw attention to BBC America’s Killing Eve (2018–22) and its queer monster Villanelle (Jodie Comer). I argue that Villanelle presents a new vision of the queer monster, where queerness and monstrosity are not interlocked parts of her characterization – a disconnect that allows her to be a more compelling monster and express her queerness in a plethora of ways. In this article, I focus on two ways in which Villanelle’s queerness manifests in the show: her fashion and style; and her sense of humour. I demonstrate that Villanelle’s queer humour and style provide her with a means to be a more dangerous and effective assassin, whilst also facilitating a means for expressing her queerness in complex ways. Her style, for example, enables her to dip in and out of both butch and femme aesthetics as she pleases and her humour provides a means to disarm her targets. In all, this article points towards Villanelle’s mercurial character as a positive form of queer representation, for her constant flitting creates a queer character who can be awful and provides a means for queerness to be displayed through multiple, yet legible, ambiguities.

Abstract:
How can we study ‘Queer’, or indeed, should we? Drawing on fieldwork with people raised in interracial families in Britain and Germany, and reflecting on my own coming out as transgendered/genderqueer during the research, I reflect on the role of difference, similarity, and change in the production of queer knowledges. My entry point is a queer diasporic one. Queers of colour, I argue, have a particular stake in queering racialised heterosexualities; yet differences within diasporic spaces clearly matter. While ‘Queer’ can open up an alternative methodology of redefining and reframing social differences, the directionality of our queering - ‘up’ rather than ‘down’ - is clearly relevant. I suggest the anti-racist feminist principle of positionality as fruitful for such a queer methodology of change. This is explored with regard to a selection of empirical and cultural texts, including the debate around Paris is Burning, Jenny Livingston's film about the Harlem house/ball scene; the appeal that a non-white heterosexual artist such as South-Asian pop singer MIA can have for queers of colour; the camp role model which Thai sex work femininity can represent for queer and trans people from the second generation of Thai migration; and the solidarity of a Southeast Asian butch with feminine women in her diasporic collectivity.

Abstract:
The landscape of higher education research and practice on Queers of Color (QoC) is increasingly offering possibilities of research paradigms and frameworks that best articulate and capture the unique experiences of race, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality. And, as research on queer Latinx/a/o people in higher education increases, researchers and scholars need to utilize frameworks that attend to this community. Notably, Jotería Studies is a framework that centers the material realities of queer Latinx/a/o people (Hames-García, 2014). Jotería Studies as a research paradigm shifts the possibilities to intentionally speak to the experiences of the queer Latinx/a/o community. Therefore, the purpose of this manuscript is to offer guidelines for qualitative researchers to use Jotería Studies to study topics of higher education. Consequently, using these guidelines assist in examining the ways in which queer Latinx/a/o people are structurally marginalized in ways that speak to the intersections of race, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality.

Abstract:
Queer as a gender identity draws varying responses globally. In French the representation of Queer in various social media has raised a number of public’s perceptions, both in positive and negative manners. This perception does not only concern about French linguistic issues, but also its socio-cultural issues. This study puts an emphasis on the widely-used speech patterns showing the public perception on both French queer and immigrant queers posted on French social media. Further, it also examines the socio-cultural context that influences the social contact and relation between the public and the phenomenon of Queer as a subject in social media. This study uses interactionist approach and gender-based critical discourse analysis based on the theory of interpersonal contact between groups proposed by Gordon Allport. In explaining the phenomenon, the researcher employs qualitative content analysis and uses criticial discourse analysis and gender-based criticism. The data are collected from both French and immigrant queers’ posts on social media in 2020. The results show that French queers are perceived to have equal standing position with other French people as they are considered as a part of French society. The result also shows that unlike French queer, the immigrant-descent queer are considered to have inequal position with French society due to the immigrant’s negative stereotype as the trigger of social problems in France.

Abstract:
This paper examines the struggle of queer people through the perspective of the term Queer in Arundhati Roy's The Ministry of Utmost Happiness (2017). This paper aims to explore the persistent struggle of queer minorities in Indian society, their challenges to the cultural traditions of heteronormative society and their modes of resistance. The paper mainly focuses on the protagonist of the early part of the novel, Anjum, formerly Aftab, who is one of the socially abandoned transgender characters of modern India. The purpose of this research is to explore the queer subversion against the heteronormative ideals in Roy's novel and to show through Anjum’s vision of queer resistance and utopia. In the novel, Anjum's choice of leaving her house and living in a queer utopia, fighting individually with the society throughout her life, establishing a small, but self-dependent community in the graveyard, and sheltering the minorities like “queers, addicts, orphans, Muslims and other dropouts from the society” (Zubair, 2018, p. 35), does not exhibit her defeat or helplessness, but her defiance and rebellion against the status quo. This act has also empowered her to redefine her life in the best possible way by creating an alternative Duniya where she could shelter “all people from different shades and shapes of life” (Raina, 2017, p. 837).

Diz, Sabrina. "Spiritual Violence: Queer People and the Sacrament of Communion." FIU Digital Commons, 2013. http://digitalcommons.fiu.edu/etd/882.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis addresses spiritual violence done to queer people in the sacrament of Communion, or Eucharist, in both Protestant and Roman Catholic churches in the U.S. Rooted in the sexual dimorphic interpretation of Genesis, theologians engendered Christianity with sexism and patriarchy, both of which have since developed into intricate intersections of oppressions. Religious abuse is founded on the tradition of exclusionary practices and is validated through narrow interpretations of Scripture that work to reassert the authority of the experiences of the dominant culture. The resultant culture of oppression manifests itself in ritualized spiritual violence. Queer people are deemed “unworthy” to take ‘the body and blood of the Christ’ and, in fact, are excluded altogether. This “unworthiness” is expressed as spiritual violence against queer people who are shunned and humiliated, internalize hateful messages, and are denied spiritual guidance or life-affirming messages. By “queering” Scripture, or reading the Bible anew through a framework of justice, queer people have begun to sacramentalize their experiences and reclaim their place at the table.

Abstract:
This study incorporates a critical AOP theoretical framework in order to answer the central research question which seeks to reveal the ways in which queer people of colour conceptualize their intersecting identities and resist interlocking systems of domination. Photovoice, a community-based and visual PAR methodology, enables participants to visualize their everyday realities through photography, describe their lives through these photos and individual narratives, and through critical dialogue create themes which speak to their collective experiences. Participants spoke of how historical displacement and intersecting experiences of marginalization resulted in emotional and psychological responses which complicated their relationships to mental health. Key findings reveal the complexities of integrating a historicized trans-national identity and the contemporary effects of political and structural intersectionality on the lives of queer people of colour in Canada. By collectively conceptualizing strategies of survival and resistance, this collaborative and community-building process generated new knowledge, which will serve to inform social work policies and practices.
Cette étude emploie un cadre théorique critique AOP afin de répondre à la question centrale de recherche suivante: Quelle sont les façons que les minorités sexuelles racialisées conceptualisent leurs identités intersectionnelles et comment résistent-ils aux systèmes de domination qui s'enclenchent? Photovoix est une méthode de PAR, visuelle et communautaire, qui permet aux participants de s'imaginer leurs réalités quotidiennes à travers la photographie en prenant des photos et en créant des narrations. Avec le dialogue critique, les participants ont crée des thématiques collectives. Ils ont décrit le rapport entre leur santé mentale et leur état émotionnel et psychologique résultant des effets complexes de déplacement historique et des expériences d'exclusion intersectionelles. Les résultats indiquent que les minorités sexuelles racialisées au Canada développent une identité historique et transnationale et sont enclavées par les effets politiques et structurelles de l'oppression intersectionnelle. En créant des stratégies de survivance, ce processus communautaire a produit des nouvelles connaissances qui serviront de s'informer des pratiques et des mesures politiques de travail social.

Abstract:
Romani LGBTIQ people experience specific non-normative (queer) intersectionalities within mainstream, Romani and LGBTIQ communities on multiple grounds, including ethnicity/race, sexuality, gender, class, social status, age, religion etc. The research addresses a significant gap in knowledge by shedding light on an area of inquiry which remains understudied, leading to invisibility and inadequate awareness of needs. The lived experiences investigated herein are regionally diverse, allowing the research to highlight commonly shared experiences of queer intersectionalities. Historically, non-Roma have romanticised and simultaneously vilified Roma, leading to stereotypical essentialist/essentialising representations of Roma, Romani identities and identifications; and resulting in embedding marked essentialist difference at the core of historic and modern negative social valuation of Romani ethnic identity. This thesis argues that the lived experiences of Romani LGBTIQ people pose a fundamental challenge to stereotypical, one-dimensional, homogenising and essentialising representations of Roma. Guided by the research question ‘What are the experiences of Romani LGBTIQ people in and beyond Europe?’, this qualitative research draws on ethnographic principles. It is concerned with investigating and highlighting the experiences of Romani LGBTIQ people; and unpacking, uncovering and exploring the strategies deployed by Romani LGBTIQ people when negotiating multiple ethnic, sexual and gender identities and identifications, oppression, (in)visibility, exclusion, as well as inclusion, recognition, and belonging (or lack thereof) with, in and/or to mainstream societies, as well as Romani and LGBTIQ communities. The fieldwork for this research was undertaken between summer 2015 and autumn 2016. Data was collected in 14 interviews, 2 where participant observation was undertaken. Thematic analysis sensitive to queer theoretical concepts, and to queer assemblages in particular, was used to identify key themes. The investigation contributes to queer(y)(ing) Romani Studies by challenging dominant essentialist, homogenising conceptualisations of Romani identities; and to ongoing discussions about the under-development of sexuality within intersectionality, and the under-development of intersectionality within queer theorising. In order to help generate insight into Romani LGBTIQ people’s queer intersectional identities and identifications, this thesis proposes to employ queer intersectionalities: they allow us to identify and interrogate the workings of interlocking axes of inequality whilst not assuming the supremacy of one axis over the other, hence not re-inscribing marked essentialist difference embedded within and constitutive of social norms, orthodoxies, and binaries. Simultaneously, employing queer intersectionalities benefits understandings of identities and identifications as rhizomic fluid assemblages that are not anchored in the notion of fixed ‘groupness’. Queer intersectionalities thus enable an important reconceptualisation of Romani identities and identifications that dismantles norms and normativities, doing away with marked essentialist difference that has tended to fix and stabilise Romani identities and identifications. The research found that although Antigypsyism — a direct manifestation of whitenormativity — is a key aspect of the lived experiences of many Romani LGBTIQ people that often eclipses other forms of oppression, it is not the only aspect of Romani LGBTIQ people’s experiences. Romani LGBTIQ people experience queer intersectional stigmatisation as both Roma and LGBTIQ due the interlocking negative social valuation of Romani ethnicity, non-heteronormative sexuality and/or non-cis-normative gender identity. These specific queer intersectionalities experienced by Romani LGBTIQ people are inextricably linked to various degrees of ethnicised/racialised, sexed, gendered and queer intersectional (in)visibilities, including hyper-visibility. Romani LGBTIQ people negotiate and renegotiate the boundaries of various degrees of (in)visibilities delineating difference and sameness that one may ‘step in’ or ‘step out of’ depending on how one ‘reads’ a given social setting and on how one is ‘read’ within that context employing the notional spaces of ‘the closet’ and/or passing: key survival strategies that are constituted and reconstituted through social contexts and relationships, including through families and/or communities where both inclusion and exclusion are present. The dimension of gender, particularly with respect to femininity associated with some ‘passive’ gay men (receivers) and (trans)womanhood, is key to the specific queer intersectionalities experienced by Romani LGBTIQ people, especially lesbian women, some gay men, and trans and intersex people. As mediators, bridges, halfies and in-betweens, in response to marked essentialist difference lying at the root of white-normativity, heteronormativity, cis-normativity and patriarchy, some Romani LGBTIQ people seek to create commonality, and indeed, strategic sameness: the notion of a relational use of identities and identifications whereby connections are created across difference for strategic purposes. Strategic sameness is a political strategy of navigating spaces between difference and sameness; as such, strategic sameness does not read through assimilation, conformity and/or normalisation. Operationalised by and through (in)visibilities — and in some cases hyper-visibility — associated with ‘the closet’ and passing, and deployed in a queer way to defy and subvert dominant normativities within which it operates, strategic sameness is a positionality resisting norms and binaries that enables the queer bearer to deploy sameness in order to do away with social norms, orthodoxies and dualisms. Queer non belonging by identification and disidentification is a transgressive, subversive non/counter-normative positionality that some Romani LGBTIQ people may assume when negotiating queer intersectionalities. It enables re-conceptualisations of identities and identifications by identifying with aspects of ethnic/racial and/or sexual/gender identities that are empowering while disidentifying with those aspects that are hostile, restrictive and/or oppressive. Queer non belonging has an important political dimension: espousing a marked (stigmatised) category of identification can be understood as a strategically subversive act undermining key hegemonic systems of oppression: white-normativity, heteronormativity, cis-normativity and patriarchy. This investigation may benefit service providers, civil society organisations, community initiatives and institutions in the area of application and policy recommendations and potentially feed into larger national and transnational policy frameworks.

Abstract:
Queer-teacher lives aren’t easy! They experience isolation and bifurcation of their lives on a daily basis. How much more difficult must life be for these teachers in the theologically heteronormative context of the Catholic school? Yet, these teachers remain educators in these institutions, sensing goodness in what they are doing and in the future of these schools. Inspired by this interesting reality of tension, this study asks two important questions. First, how do queer teachers understand their identities as constructed in a Catholic school? Secondly, it wants to know what action teachers will take when they have come to an answer about their constructed identities. This dissertation incorporates queer studies, liberation theology, and critical pedagogy into a bricolage theory to fully address the intersectional lives of its participants. With a methodological approach informed by the ethics of culturally responsive research, this participatory action research begins from a moment of dialogical praxis towards the hope of social engagement. Crafted as a retreat in which queer educators share their stories of working in these institutions, this unique research incorporates the participants into the analysis process as essential actors in understanding the meaning of their own lives. The study reveals the perceptions of queer teachers about the ways that schools make meaning of their role in the educational environment as well as how they make meaning of their lives. Three major themes, “doing queer,” “being queer,” and “enforcing queer” show that these teachers are part of a complex reality in which their identities and performances in Catholic schools are dictated by the pull and push of fear enforced x through many channels in the Catholic school. These themes also show that teachers are actively making new meaning about themselves and acting in ways that seek to dismantle oppression in their institutions. The study also reveals a vibrant spirituality which emerges from the daily experience of being queer in a Catholic school. Geared towards social justice, this spirituality invites us to reimagine that work for social justice may mean pushing into oppression through a paschal victimhood which transforms institutions fundamentally from within.

Abstract:
Queer people and people of color are two groups that are exposed to much stereotyping and discrimination in the United States. When these two identity labels coincide they sometimes conflict. In this study, five queer persons of color were interviewed on their identities and their life stories, to find out how they create their identities through narratives, negotiating and rewriting the meanings of social categories. Using Johnson's Quare term as inspiration,and analyzing the data with the use of Riessman's performative narrative analysis and Muñoz's Disidentifications, I find several common tropes of identity creation and performance as well as practices of resistance and disidentification. I then discuss the word Queer as used by respondents to label practices and attitudes that can be considered disidentifying.

Abstract:
This thesis draws from interviews conducted between late-2012 and mid-2013 as an ‘intimate insider’ (Taylor 2011) with twenty one young queer people living on the Gold Coast, Australia, at the time we spoke. It also draws from my own autoethnographic stories about growing up queer on the Gold Coast. Through these stories of self and others, I map out shared and unique experiences of youth, queerness, and the local setting of the city of Gold Coast, in order to identify and interrogate ‘tactics’ – in de Certeau’s (1984) sense – of survival: everyday means of ‘getting by’ in spaces that are ordered (built, controlled) by dominant forms of power (viz. ‘strategies’). These tactics provide a window into the effects and affects produced in/on young queer people by heterosexed public space and by those individuals and institutions that underwrite and authorise explicit and implicit forms of violence against us. The collection of survival tactics compiled herein, which is neither complete nor authoritative (due to the nature of tactics as products of necessity and creativity), is also in a sense an ‘instruction manual’ for young queer people who might read this thesis and draw inspiration from these everyday means of getting by, to develop their own tactics of survival. Emerging as central to my mapping of tactics are the multiple forms of friendship engaged in and developed by my participants and by me, which serve as key providers of resources in the ongoing task of survival. Collecting stories about surviving heterosexed public space and the strategies that order it is only half of the task: the final two chapters of this thesis are dedicated to means of challenging the dominant forms of power – those strategies – which impel such tactics in the first place. Dehumanisation is identified as the process underlying many instances of anti-queer rhetoric and violence, and the dual endeavours of education about and visibility for young queer people are proposed as means to produce counter-hegemonic discourses that undermine the dehumanising process. Ultimately, continuing to live, and doing so as we want, is suggested as a political task for young queer people that poses a direct challenge to heteronormative power. In this way, by becoming ‘examples’ in Agamben’s (1993) sense of the word, grounds on which we can cleave together in our simultaneous similarity and difference is produced, from which we can mobilise queer political power to improve the lot of all queer people, not just those whose lives align with the dominant, but for their sexuality.

Abstract:
Despite advances gained by LGBTQIA+ people the issue of discrimination against the queer population continues. Recent events surrounding comments made by alt-right leaders have continued the conversation regarding homophobia and transphobia. The followed study built on previous understandings of moral disengagement theory and communication. 15 semi-structured, in-depth interviews with queer students were conducted in order to explore the role of self-cognitive mechanisms and their potential justifications for anti-queer communication. Findings suggested that not only were mechanisms of moral disengagement present in incidents surrounding anti-queer communication, but the carried with them a range of personal and societal implications. This study offered new understandings in moral disengagement theory, its application to interpersonal communication and its possible explanation for discriminatory behavior.

Abstract:
The aim of this essay is to examine the narrated experiences of three Trans- masculine activists in relationship to the emergence of a new term "hembros" as a forum for diverse forms of gender expression and subjectivity. The present study is an attempt to examine gender expression from a nomadic subjective approach and a queer phenomenological theoretical framework. The results of this study have shown that gender expression, although not free from the tensions that social sanctions present, could be proposed from different locations of embodied gender subjectivity. Meaning that awareness about the gender system and the structures of power, and working within those frames, one can create new notions of gender expression, taking the body as a starting point.

Abstract:
The UMKC University Libraries held the second Rainbow Read-In (RRI) virtually in June 2022. Readers presented either their own works if they identify as LGBTQIA+ or works written by LGBTQIA+ authors. Nine participants presented and sixty people attended. Our first Rainbow Read-In included ten presenters and forty attendees in 2021. The goal of this presentation is to share how we created a safe space to showcase works from within the queer community. The objectives of this program are to discuss the origins of the RRI, the formation of the committee, lessons learned, short- and long-term goals, potential areas for improvement, and examples of the range of queer voices represented. New events usually take time to become established, but our event had a head start. UMKC University Libraries hosted the first African American Read-In (AARI) in 2009. As the co-chair of the AARI committee for six years and the creator of the RRI, this presentation will address how the AARI served as a foundation and inspiration for creating a safe and supportive environment for building community for the RRI. We created the transformative program that we wanted to attend. The initial success of this innovative event proves that, as a bunch of library nerds, if you build it, they will come.

Crispino, Domenico. "The Hameau de la Reine at Versailles and the reproduction of vernacular architecture." In HERITAGE2022 International Conference on Vernacular Heritage: Culture, People and Sustainability. Valencia: Universitat Politècnica de València, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/heritage2022.2022.15154.

Full text
Abstract:
The proposed paper analyses the system of small buildings that compose the Hameau de la Reine in the Petit Trianon gardens in the park of the royal palace of Versailles. The complex of architectural artefacts, built at the end of the 18th century, emulates the features of vernacular architecture typical of the villages of Normandy. The main interest lies in the analysis of the masonry which reproduces the signs of wear caused by the salty coastal climate of northern France using the trompe-l'oeil technique. The study of the architectural elements found in this part of the park of Versailles, using the tools of the restoration discipline, makes possible the highlighting of the specific qualities that confer recognizability on both the vernacular architecture and its reproductions. The design of this section of Queen Marie-Antoinette's Domaine identifies an ideological root in eighteenth-century Enlightenment thinking from which came the physiocratic theories expressed by Quesnay and the Marquis de Mirabeau. The contribution intends to underline, through the analysis of the method of imitation of vernacular architecture, the importance that this architectural typology assumes in the process of rediscovery and fruition of the territory. The analysis of the Hameau complex testifies how vernacular architecture, not yet codified according to this terminology, was already identified at the end of the 18th century as an example of high quality value that found its effective collocation within the boundaries of the royal park of Versailles. The characteristics of this architecture allow it to find an effective place even inside the perimeter of the royal park of Versailles. It is possible to identify the prodromes of the modern architectural sensibility that recognizes and codifies the values of vernacular architecture within the site studied by this paper proposal.

Abstract:
The level of political representation of women in different legislative bodies around the world varies greatly. The women in the Arab world, is that as in other areas of the world, have throughout history experienced discrimination and have been subject to restriction of their freedoms and rights. Many of these practices and limitations are based on cultural and emanate from tradition and not from religion as many people supposed, these main constraints that create an obstacle towards women’s rights and liberties are reflected in the participation of women in political life. Although there are differences between the countries, the Arab region in general is noted for the low participation of women in politics. Universal suffrage has become common in most countries, but there are still some Arab women who are denied such rights. There have been many highly respected female leaders in Arab history, such as Shajar al-Durr (13th century) in Egypt, Queen Orpha (d. 1090) in Yemen. In the modern era there have also been examples of female leadership in Arab countries. However, in Arabic-speaking countries no woman has ever been head of state, although many Arabs remarked on the presence of women such as Jehan Al Sadat, the wife of Anwar El Sadat in Egypt, and Wassila Bourguiba, the wife of Habib Bourguiba in Tunisia, who have strongly influenced their husbands in their dealings with matters of state. Many Arab countries allow women to vote in national elections. The first female Member of Parliament in the Arab world was Rawya Ateya, who was elected in Egypt in 1957. Some countries granted the female franchise in their constitutions following independence, while some extended the franchise to women in later constitutional amendments.

Abstract:
Bendigo, where the traditional owners are the Dja Dja Wurrung people, has capitalised on its European historical roots. Its striking architecture owes much to its Gold Rush past which has also given it a diverse cultural heritage. The creative industries, while not well recognised as such, contribute well to the local economy. The many festivals, museums and library exhibitions attract visitors from the metropolitan centre of Victoria especially. The Bendigo Creative Industries Hub was a local council initiative while the Ulumbarra Theatre is located within the City’s 1860’s Sandhurst Gaol. Many festivals keep the city culturally active and are supported by organisations such as Bendigo Bank. The Bendigo Writers Festival, the Bendigo Queer Film Festival, The Bendigo Invention & Innovation Festival, Groovin the Moo and the Bendigo Blues and Roots Music Festival are well established within the community. A regional accelerator and Tech School at La Trobe University are touted as models for other regional Victorian cities. The city has a range of high quality design agencies, while the software and digital content sector is growing with embeddeds working in agriculture and information management systems. Employment in Film, TV and Radio and Visual Arts has remained steady in Bendigo for a decade while the Music and Performing Arts sector grew quite well over the same period.
