 **[WGS Chair Jocelyn Viterna](/people/jocelyn-viterna-0)** will moderate a conversation with Moji Anderson (University of the West Indies) at Harvard's David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies (DRCLAS) **on** **Monday, November 27, 12:00-1:30 pm, CGIS South S216, 1730 Cambridge Street**.

 Jamaica is famous for being uniquely homophobic. While homophobia is real, epithets like *Time* magazine’s “the most homophobic place on earth” not only misrepresent reality but also posit LGBTQ+ Jamaicans exclusively as victims. **Moji Anderson** is an anthropologist, qualitative health researcher and Senior Lecturer in the Department of Sociology, Psychology and Social Work at the University of the West Indies (UWI), Mona, Jamaica.
