Global morgen: Sexuality and Power in Nigeria with Jude Dibia
Sexuality is both private and political. In Nigeria, law, culture, and religion all play a role in regulating intimacy and people's love lives. In this Global morgen- lecture, Dibia will explore the forces shaping attitudes toward sexuality in Nigeria, from colonial legacies to contemporary politics.
Dibia is the author of one of the first Nigerian novels with a gay main character, and his writing has received wide recognition. He has been shortlisted for awards including the Nigeria Prize for Literature, the Commonwealth Writers' Prize, and the Swedish Natur & Kultur Prize.
«Queer people were living, loving, suffering, surviving - but largely rendered invisible or spoken of in hushed tones, if at all. That silence felt violent. It felt like erasure» - (The Guardian in 2025).
It is an honour to welcome Jude Dibia to Stavanger.
