Dear colleagues
<br>
<br>The European Network for Queer Anthropology (ENQA) is organizing a panel on
<br>the histories of queer_ing anthropology in Europe for this year's EASA
<br>conference in Stockholm.
<br>
<br>We welcome all proposals for presentations for this panel. You can find
<br>information about the panel at the following link:

<br>(Un)Settling the discipline? the histories of queer_ing anthropology in
<br>Europe

<br>Queer scholarship shifts epistemological and methodological boundaries.
<br>Radically changing how gender and sexuality can be understood and researched,
<br>queer_ing anthropology unsettled long standing traditions within European
<br>academia. Yet how queer thought made its way into anthropological debates
<br>varied across the different national and institutional contexts of European
<br>anthropology. While queer anthropology fits into some national and
<br>institutional contexts rather well in others it does not and remains
<br>marginalized. This messy process of (un)settling the discipline needs our
<br>attention if we are to understand when and how queer_ing anthropology comes to
<br>matter and what difference it makes in the development of the discipline of
<br>anthropology. For this panel we thus invite scholars to discuss, compare, and
<br>contrast the (ongoing) histories of European queer anthropology and queer_ing
<br>anthropology in Europe. How did and does queer scholarship in European
<br>anthropology emerge? What particular obstacles did and does this scholarship
<br>face? How do queer critiques change epistemological and methodological
<br>debates, and how and where do they not? How is queer_ing anthropology combined
<br>with other critical approaches (postcolonial, trans, crip, race)? What
<br>controversies have changed, and continue to change, European queer
<br>anthropology? How does the (career) movement of scholars (re)define queer
<br>anthropology? How is the transition from queer anthropoloGISTS to queer
<br>anthropoloGY connected to the (de)professionalization and
<br>(de)institutionalization of queer_ing anthropology? By exploring these and
<br>related questions, this panel invites scholars to reflect on how queer
<br>anthropology's epistemological, methodological and analytical interventions
<br>came/come to matter within European anthropology and ethnographic knowledge
<br>production.
<br>
<br>All the best,
<br>
