Abstract:	In this fascinating lecture, Professor Stephen Brown, Professor of Political Science, University of Ottawa discussed the conflictual dynamics of North-South relations regarding homosexuality. Using examples drawn mainly from Tanzania, he demonstrated how governments on both sides of the “global frictions” often superficially perform identities more than they actually take concrete action. Rather than promoting LGBTQ+ rights, such external interventions can actually place the LGBTQ+ population at greater risk.
