The Centre for Transforming Sexuality and Gender (CTSG Brighton) at University of Brighton is seeking contributions for next year’s Lesbian Lives conference, which will take place at the university from March 22 – 23, 2024.
The theme for the 2024 conference, which aims to highlight the ongoing struggles against homophobia, transphobia and misogyny across the globe, is Global Connections: Solidarities, Communities, Networks and Activisms.
Addressing these themes across disciplines and across academic research, activism and arts, CTSG Brighton welcomes proposals from academics, scholars, practitioners, students, activists, documentary and filmmakers, writers and artists.
Proposals can be individual papers, panel sessions, round table discussions or workshops. For more info CLICK HERE
CTSG Brighton say: “Many parts of the world have seen an increasingly prominent backlash against the freedoms and human rights of LGBTQ+ people, not least in the UK where the transgender community is facing ongoing challenges. Despite increased LGBTQ+ visibility and, in places, increased civic rights for some, progress is not a given, and social justice gains are in flux. Reversals or blocking of freedoms and rights call for resistance and invigorated coalitions, solidarities, and activism.”
The deadline for submissions is December 1. For more info CLICK HERE
