Call for papers (and other contributions)
There has been surprisingly little explicit interaction between feminist and queer geographies, despite a number of shared concerns. This conference will provide a space for productive exchanges between feminist and queer geographers, as well as other researchers interested in questions of feminism, queer theory, and spatiality. The conference will explore points of both intersection and disjuncture between queer and feminist theories and geographies.
We welcome papers proposing exciting future directions for research, as well as those advancing/challenging contemporary theoretical and methodological agendas. We are particularly interested in research that will feed into broader debates about the intersections between feminist theory, queer theory, and politics.
We aim to be interdisciplinary in nature, and we welcome contributions from cognate disciplines, including (but not limited to) sociology, politics, art, & performance studies. Contributions other than traditional paper presentations are also encouraged, such as installations, films and performance.
