Dr. Luis-Manuel Garcia-Mispireta (Associate Professor in Ethnomusicology and Popular Music Studies, University of Birmingham) will be giving a talk titled, "Researching 'From the Bottoms Up:' Queer Nightlife, Community Care, and Co-Creative Research." In this talk, Dr. Garcia-Mispireta reflects on recent collaborative research events that aim to capture the perspectives of nightlife collectives that serve intersecting communities of queer, trans, sex worker, migrant/refugee, and neurodiverse people, part of a larger research project that aims to investigate the resurgence in ‘grassroots’ community organising through electronic dance music in queer communities.
