Guilt and the Gay Identity; Emotions in South Asia through a Queer Lens

What is it about?

Queer lives in semi-urban and rural India are typically required to conform to heteronormativity in a way that stands apart from Western and urban Indian experiences. Dr. Jayaprakash Mishra, shares with us why he chose to examine the emotions of guilt in South Asian families through a queer perspective, as explored in his article “Queering Emotion in South Asia: Biographical Narratives of Gay Men in Odisha, India”. Dr. Mishra examines how and why gay men negotiate between heteronormative expectations and homoromantic desire.
