Kath Browne is a Geography Professor at University College Dublin. Her research interests lie in geographies of sexualities and genders.
Prof. Browne's work has focused on the impact of legislative changes to sexual and gender equalities in the 21st century, where she has explored the possibilities and limitations of LGBT equalities. Her work has looked at what makes life liveable for LGBT people in the U.K. and India, refusing easy narratives of ‘here’ as ‘sorted’ and ‘there’ as ‘backward’. She has looked at new resistances to LGBT equalities, developing the concept of heteroactivism to name the ways that changes to legislation means that groups and organisations who are opposed to LGBT equalities have altered how people contest legal rights and cultural shifts. Her current research explores the experiences of everyday spaces for those who are opposed to sexual and gender equalities, and will in the future use these understandings to explore the possibilities of radical interconnections that work beyond oppositions (BeyondOpposition.org). She has also explored women’s separatist spaces, Pride and safety.
