Description

In February, UWE Bristol Library is hosting LGBT+ History Month book giveaways, to raise awareness about LGBT+ history, issues surrounding stigma, and people's personal experiences. We'll be hiding the giveaway books around our campuses, and we'll be posting location clues on our Instagram Stories. If you find a book, it's yours to keep.

Our first book giveaway focuses on this year's LGBT+ History Month theme - Medicine #UnderTheScope - and features Bodies and Barriers by Adrian Shanker.

Book bio:

"Through artfully articulated, data-informed essays by twenty-six well-known and emerging queer activists, Bodies and Barriers informs health care professionals, students in health professions, policymakers, and fellow activists about the health disparities LGBT people pervasively experience, and looks for tangible improvements."
