Liveable Lives in India and Ireland with Kath Browne and Niharika Banerjea

We are all familiar with the problematic and limiting dichtomy of the Global North and Global South; how can we then research and practise solidarity that refuses this split geography? In Niharika Banerjea and Kath Browne's project Liveable Lives: Living and Surviving LGBTQ Equalities in India and the UK attempted exactly this. They join the podcast this week to discuss this work.
