Queer Migrations: Transnational Sexualities in Theory and Practice
Mon 23 November 2020 - Fri 27 November 2020
Zoom
Critical debates in migration and diaspora studies have long ignored issues of sexuality and queerness. The figures of the migrant and the refugee have become normalised as cis-gender and heterosexual through cultural, political and media narratives, as well as in academic discourse.
The objective of this conference is twofold: firstly, to restore visibility to the queer migrant in cultural, sociological, political, theoretical and methodological debates on globality and migration; and secondly, to challenge the socio-political and racialised narrativisation of the queer migrant experience as a journey from the ‘backward’ global South to the ‘progressive’ global North.
The conference consist of 3 panels and one Keynote Lecture by Gayatri Gopinath (Center for the Study of Gender and Sexuality; NYU) spread over 4 days. Please visit our website and register for each event you wish to attend separately. http://www.crassh.cam.ac.uk/events/28576
