Dear colleagues

the histories of queer_ing anthropology in Europe for this year's EASA
conference in Stockholm.
We welcome all proposals for presentations for this panel. You can find

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