The seminar will focus on recent research in Nepal emphasizing complex connections between law, social context and sexual subjectivity. There is dissonance in Nepal between a progressive legislative environment in respect of gender and sexual minority issues and everyday sociocultural ambivalence toward such sexual and gender minority persons.
Dr Boyce's research has predominantly focused on sexual and gendered subjectivities. Doctoral research at the LSE took place in West Bengal, India, and explored ways in which sexualities between men were conceived and represented in HIV prevention discourse and practice as contrasted to the lived, day-to-day experience of male-to-male sexual intimacy. Overall his work takes place at the interface of anthropological research and theorizing on sexual and gendered subjectivities and critically applied work in policy and programme development internationally.
