Women and Queer Histories Tour - by Uncomfortable Oxford™

Discover the diverse heritage in the city of dreaming spires. Unearth the stories of those who are often left out of traditional narratives of Oxford: Women, people of colour, and LQBTQIA+ individuals. This guided journey around Oxford will go back in time to highlight the many ways women have historically experienced the urban space and family life, uncover how masculinities have shaped and been shaped by the university, and discuss queer experiences in the city. Together we will analyse the urban landscape, discuss gendered geographies, and push back on social expectations. All our tours are led by university researchers who have completed our official Uncomfortable Oxford training programme. Our guides combine expert knowledge and performance, ensuring each tour is a fun and educational experience.
