"Hello, This Is Switchboard": Voices of Queer Britain and the Helpline That Listened

with Tash Walker & Adam Zmith

Based on The Log Books: Voices of Queer Britain and the Helpline that Listened, this session uncovers Britain’s queer past through a stash of forgotten handwritten notes kept by Switchboard volunteers since 1974. Authors Tash Walker and Adam Zmith will share the joy, fear, humour, heartbreak and grit tucked inside those pages — raw human stories that rewrite how we see queer history and why those voices still matter today
