Reminder CfP Making a Difference: the Hope and Promise of Sexuality Studies
Dear colleagues, <br> <br>A kind reminder of the approaching deadline for submissions for the upcoming <br>conference "Making a Difference: the Hope and Promis of Sexuality Studies". <br>See below for more information. <br> <br> <br> <br>CfP: Making a Difference: the Hope and Promise of Sexuality Studies <br> <br>ESA Sexuality Research Network Mid-Term Conference <br> <br>24th and 25th September 2020 <br> <br>CES (Centro de Estudios Sociais), University of Coimbra, Coimbra, Portugal <br> <br>Deadline: 1st March 2020 <br> <br>Keynote Speakers: Sonia Corra | Sue Scott | Miguel Vale de Almeida <br> <br>For submission details please check: <br>https://ces.uc.pt/pt/agenda-noticias/agenda-de-eventos/2020/making-a-differen <br>ce <br> <br> <br> <br> <br>The title of this midterm conference is inspired by Lemn Sissay's poem Making <br>a Difference quoted by former ESA President Sue Scott in her opening speech at <br>the 2019 ESA conference in Manchester. The poem urges researchers at all <br>stages of their career and members of academia at large to stand out and use <br>their embodied knowledge to break barriers and make a difference. We draw from <br>this powerful invitation to encourage scholars and activists alike to approach <br>sexuality studies as a platform for change. <br> <br>Gender and sexuality studies have been subject to funding cuts and obstructive <br>state interventions leading in some instances to the closure of entire <br>university degree programmes. Long-established oppressive and discriminatory <br>practices and the recent advancement of right-wing populism have dire <br>consequences for the lives of those who do not live up to ethnocentric ideals <br>of cis and hetero normativity and normalcy. Reflecting on these challenges, <br>the ESA Sexuality Research Network wishes to stimulate discussions on how the <br>sociological study of sexuality has been operating as a scholarly and activist <br>tool for change and on how it can achieve even more by looking at the broader <br>implications of sexual politics and the politics of sexuality. <br>How useful is the sociological study of sexuality for challenging new and old <br>backlashes? What methodological and epistemological challenges do sexuality <br>studies face today? What helpful disciplinary cross-fertilisations can we <br>further stimulate? What analytical insights can the study of sexuality <br>contribute to, and what are its future directions? What theoretical, <br>political, and activist interventions are necessary to nurture and sustain <br>hope in this field? What may undermine the hope and promise of sexuality <br>studies? What aspects of the sociological study of sexuality remain <br>under-explored or even ignored, and how can we address marginalised or tabooed <br>topics? <br>We look forward to sharing research and to discussing ways in which we can <br>contribute to the field and the promises and hopes it holds. We would like the <br>conference to be an opportunity to take a critical look at the politics of <br>hope, its potentials and its limits, its usages, histories, cultural legacies, <br>social and emotional dynamics and its discursive and material effects. <br>We invite scholars, activists and interested parties to address these and <br>other related questions. Specific topics may include, but need not be limited <br>to: <br> <br> * SOGI rights claims, human rights, social justice and solidarity <br> * Challenging LGBTIQ+ discrimination and inequality <br> * Sexual violence, conflict resolution and reconciliation <br> * Shifting notions of consent <br> * Intersections of sex, work and economic justice <br> * Sexual politics, social movements and queering practices of resistance <br>(e.g. anti-capitalist, anti-fascist, anti-colonial, anti-racist, feminist, <br>etc.) <br> * Sexual identities, communities and the politics of belonging <br> * Sexual norms and normativities <br> * Migration and sexuality, multiculturalism and integration <br> * Utopianism/dystopianism in theories on sexuality <br> * Alternative intimacies and modes of kinship <br> * Care and caring in intimate and sexual relationships <br> * Sexuality, emotions and affects <br> * Medicalization, de-medicalization, biopolitics, and biosociality <br> * Gender, sexuality and reproductive justice <br> * Sexuality, bodies and embodiment <br>We welcome proposals for individual papers (300 words) and for panels (1000 <br>words) consisting of 3 to 4 papers. Please also include a short biography of <br>paper author/s. <br>For submission details please check: <br>https://ces.uc.pt/pt/agenda-noticias/agenda-de-eventos/2020/making-a-differen <br>ce <br>The deadline for submissions is 1st March 2020.
