Zoom Panel: Queerness Beyond Whiteness in Europe: A Conversation on El Houb (The Love)
Wednesday, January 24, 9:30-11:00 AM PST

In "'Gays who cannot properly be gay': Queer Muslims in the neoliberal European city" (2013), Black queer studies scholar Fatima El-Tayeb shows how dominant white European narratives of "coming out" normatively frame queer freedom in contradistinction to racialized Others-particularly Muslim men, who are rendered threatening, if straight, and inadequately liberated, if queer without abandoning Islam. How is this narrative being challenged by queer Muslims themselves while grappling with the challenges of being queer within ethnic communities that are already minoritized in Europe? This virtual panel about the award-winning Dutch film El Houb (The Love, 2022) will feature Moroccan-Dutch author and screenwriter Tofik Dibi and lead actor Fahd Larhzaoui in conversation with Nicolaas P. Barr and Louisa Mackenzie (Comparative History of Ideas).
