SUMMARY:Conference | RINGS Conference 2025
DESCRIPTION:We are at a time when critical knowledges and minoritarian politics are contested by a variety of actors\, ranging from social movements to political parties and institutions. Think of the – by now (in)famous – anti-gender and anti-feminist discourses that pervade the global landscape\, casting sexual and gender education as well as reproductive and LGBTQIA+ rights as a threat for children\, the ‘natural order’ of society\, and the national community at large. At the same time\, supra-national institutions like the EU\, the UN\, or the IMF operationalize reproductive and LGBTQIA+ rights or environmental discourses as developmental benchmarks that the peripheries need to catch up to. Not coincidentally\, we are witnessing in many countries of the Global South\, such as India\, Uganda\, and Colombia\, not just the rise of anti-feminist and anti-gender discourses\, but the articulation between them and new nationalist narratives featuring the critique of colonialism and of Western imperialism. All this is happening while imperialist Russia conducts political and ideological wars under the banner of fighting Western hegemony and defending the ‘traditional family’. Adding to such a complex landscape\, postcolonial perspectives and expressions of solidarity with Palestine after October 2023 have been harshly condemned in most of Europe as well as the United States. In universities particularly\, concerns have been related to questions of ‘safety’ and ‘antisemitism’\, thus raising questions about the meaning – as well as the current status – of academic freedom. Highlighted here are but a few conspicuous cases operating in a vast and differentiated landscape that is underpinned by the workings of global capitalism. \nWhat we see in all these instances is that many of the political signifiers that ‘we’ as critical scholars and politically engaged actors deploy reappear in sexist\, racist\, homophobic\, transphobic\, Islamophobic\, antisemitic\, and other discourses for exclusionary\, oppressive\, and ideological purposes. ‘Safety’ and ‘anti-semitism’ themselves are cast against those same minority groups in which these signifiers are habitually mobilized. ‘Gender’ – the analytical tool at the core of Gender Studies and other critical fields – is mystified as a specter aimed at destroying and perverting children\, families\, and society at large. Anti-colonial and anti-imperialist struggles and practices enter nationalist rhetoric and function as tools\, not just for further marginalizing gender\, sexual\, or indigenous minorities\, but for denying the responsibilities of (neo)colonial entities. Similar reversals happen with many other (more or less dubious) signifiers\, such as ‘critical race theory’\, ‘social justice’\, and ‘woke’\, to name a few. While attempting to trace these discursive developments on a global scale\, it is also crucial to consider the specificity and thus the complexity of this type of politics across geopolitical contexts. \nIn this conference\, we aim at exploring these processes of (re-)appropriation\, resignification\, thwarting\, cooptation\, and hijacking of critical knowledges and minority claims. Our concerns are not with mere semantics\, but with discursive practices and politics. In doing this\, we seek to better understand the current historical conjuncture\, also in order to be able to conceive of political alternatives and strategies for resistance and change. We also highlight the importance of and invite reflections on transnational collaborations in countering oppressive narratives. Aside from 20-minute paper presentations\, we encourage a variety of other presentation formats in the conference\, including roundtable discussions\, conversations\, interviews\, visuals\, multi-media and performance.

SUMMARY:Conference | Framing intimacy. Plurality and Vulnerability in Ways of Building Relationships
DESCRIPTION:The concept of intimacy is used widely today\, both by individuals\, in the way they consider their relationships\, and by the media and academia. The number of recent scientific events addressing this concept signals a growing trend. Unlike the concept of conjugality\, intimacy encompasses relationships governed only marginally by institutions\, and unlike sexuality\, it is not necessarily eroticised; it has an affective aspect but is not simply love. Intimacy does not overlap the concept of privacy. On the contrary\, it is omnipresent in the public space (Berlant\, 1997)\, as illustrated in cases of sexual violence. Through its plasticity\, the concept of intimacy can be used to account for the transformations that in the last few decades have changed our ways of relating and being in couples and families\, and\, more broadly\, the  relationships we form with the people we care about. These transformations include the decline of principle-based institutions\, the diversification of individual life courses\, and the recognition of gender and sexuality minorities (Lerch and Stacey\, 2011; Bozon\, 2018). The concept can also be used to incorporate diverse relational approaches not widely addressed by the social sciences\, such as friendships\, which nevertheless play a central role in contemporary sociability; short-lived non-conjugal relationships that are more than a mere one-night stand; and the ties formed in militant or minority communities\, for example ‘sorority’\nrelationships (Ferrarese\, 2012). \nThe success of the concept of intimacy comes hand in hand with definitional uncertainties\, as the diversification and de-institutionalisation of relationships pose questions as to their boundaries and nature. This has brought the political aspect of intimacy to the fore\, not just in the inequalities and power relations that characterise intimate relationships\, but also in the operations and institutions that define what an intimate relationship is\, acknowledge some and obscure others\, and determine “good” intimacies while discrediting others. Who defines and what is an intimate relationship? What are the diverse ways in which we relate and how are they qualified? What political and historical issues are involved? Defining\, subdividing and categorising intimacy is not the exclusive remit of the social sciences or scholars; it is something to which we all contribute. The issue is not simply about mapping intimacies but understanding how individuals\, institutions and public discourse delimit them and give them meaning. The concept of framework is useful in this respect (Goffman\, 1991). A framework enables us to understand how interactions are interpreted by individuals\, how intentions and motivations are attributed\, and how events are integrated into a context that lends them meaning\, regularity and predictability. It is through frameworks that the multiplicity and singularity of affective relationships attain a social reality\, one on which individuals have a hold over\, can count on and\, sometimes\, defend as a necessary order (Boltanski\, 2012). The very existence of frameworks implies the possibility of their disruption\, new interpretations and ways of seeing – ultimately\, the fragility of the world as it is and what we take for granted (Butler\, 2010). Taking the\nframing of intimacies seriously thus gives rise to the question of the tools and challenges involved in qualifying the concept\, as well as the vulnerability of relationships. \nFrameworks are situated in systems of intimacy composed of specific economic\, social and cultural configurations that shape our relations with ourselves and others\, and in which institutions determine what intimacy is and distinguish and order relationships (Gaillard\, Gimenez and Rochefort\, 2021). The political framing of intimacy and the roles played in this respect by the state and\, more broadly\, the organs of power have been highlighted by research on sex work (Bernstein\,\n2007; Mainsant\, 2021)\, separations\, divorces and family transmissions (Biland\, 2019; Bessière and Gollac\, 2020) and adoption (Perreau\, 2012; Roux\, 2022). These systems of intimacy are not interpreted solely in certain specific situations; they frame the ways in which we relate on a day-to-day basis. Ann Laura Stoler has shown how colonial governments were underpinned by a policy of intimacy inherent to racial hierarchies (Stoler\, 2013). Similarly\, Nazism was based on the promotion of a certain sexual and conjugal freedom\, which made the regime desirable (Maïlander\, 2021). Today\, race informs the ways in which “bi-national” couples and “mixed” families are perceived and form relationships\, as well as the power relations involved (Brun\, 2024). The ways in which systems of intimacy tie in with systems of gender and race (Collins\, 2004; Connell\, 2014)\, sensitivity (Baldin\, 2014) and age-related hierarchies (Rennes\, 2019) call for fresh research. The diversity of intimacy frameworks and systems is first of all historical. Considering the contemporary period alone\, standards have changed substantially between the 19th and 21st\ncenturies. The expectation of virginity on marriage no longer holds (Limbada\, 2023; Mortas\, 2017); the first partner is no longer systematically the first spouse\, and the first spouse is no longer the last (Bajos and Bozon\, 2008); separations are considered as ordinary (Brée\, 2022); cohabitation\, parenthood and sexual exclusivity are no longer a given for everyone (Rault and Regnier-Loilier\, 2019); and relational configurations are diversifying\, particularly among young people (Bergström\nand Maillochon\, 2024). These changes do not concern the entire population and have met with some resistance. Forming a couple and creating a family remain a broadly shared aspiration (Piazzesi\, 2023; Maudet\, 2024) and the persistence of gender norms limits opportunities for women and motivate ‘calls for order’ and violence (Ferrand et al.\, 2008; Clair\, 2023). \nIn the same historical space\, various manners of relating also exist. These may concern love\, family and friendships and are not necessarily characterised by specific practices or statutes; sexual relations may exist without intimacy\, as may intimate relationships without sexuality. Reflecting on the continuum of relational intimacy (Gaillard\, 2024) enables us to consider the diversity of frameworks and the distinctions between ways of relating\, which can be friendly\, family-related\, sexual\, conjugal and professional. By considering all the nuances of relational intimacies\, we can study practices in all their diverse configurations without resorting to polarisations (strengthened by normative discourses in the 19th century) between legitimate and illegitimate sexuality\, between the public and private spheres\, and between the worlds of men and women. Conjugality and the family have often been seen by the social sciences as stabilising mechanisms and desirable relations conducive to happiness. This irenic stance has long been criticised\, most recently through the feminist denunciation of sexist violence and the #Me Too movement (Dussy\, 2021; Lévy-Guillain\, 2023). Since the 1970s\, feminist research has made the question of gender violence a question of framing. For C. MacKinnon\, the distinction commonly made between rape and consensual sex\, which defines the first by distinguishing it from the second\, does not take account of the ordinary place that violence occupies in women’s lives; that which is considered as desire from a male standpoint is considered as violence from a female standpoint. It is not only\nimposed sexuality that needs to be condemned\, but the frameworks and categories that make it possible while at the same time obscuring it (MacKinnon\, 2005). The concept of the ‘grey area’ – used today to refer to relationships in which the positions of perpetrators and victims of violence are difficult to establish\, and in which uncertainty as to what has occurred is central – is a further example of the issues involved in the framing of intimate violence (Lejbowicz\, 2022). \nContemporary criticisms of bad relationships also place the emphasis on their “toxic” nature\, “narcissistic perverts” and situations of “control” (Joly and Roquebert\, 2021; Trachman and Amado\, 2024). This urges us to consider the negativity of intimate relationships above and beyond physical or moral violence. As stressed by Lauren Berlant\, unpredictability and uncertainty\, as well as the fact that partners engage in relationships with no clear knowledge of where they will take them\, are central aspects of intimacy (Berlant\, 1998). Intimacy can be seen as a relationship initiated by individuals to which at least one of the people involved gives a place and attention that he or she does not give to others (Zelizer\, 2005). Intimacy is signified by words\, acts and objects\, the limited circulation of which lends the relationship its singularity. From this standpoint\, framing intimacy is an emotional and interpersonal endeavour\, one that involves a notably gender-based division of labour (Hochschild\, 2003) as well as investments (of varying degrees)\, withdrawals and coming back to oneself (Bozon\, 2016). This perspective also places the emphasis on the possibility of suffering generated by intimate relationships\, in which trust can always be broken. What meaning would an intimate relationship have if an individual failed to expose themselves or gave no emotional foothold to the other (Trachman\, 2020)? Several studies have thus stressed the negative aspect of intimate relationships\, by focusing either on their end and the loss of loved ones (Illouz\, 2020) or on the ways in which individuals become attached to people or relationships harmful to their well-being (Berlant\, 2011). \nWhile hegemonic systems of intimacy exist\, research on gender and sexuality minorities often concentrates on how they have invented new ways of relating and redefining the family\, parenthood and couples: in situations of exclusion or stigmatisation\, friendships can be powerful affective commitments (Halperin\, 2000; Marcus\, 2007); families can be chosen and kinship relationships invented according to romantic configurations and life courses (Weston\, 1991; Courduriès and\nFine\, 2014; Hérault\, 2014); militant commitments\, including feminist causes\, raise questions on new ways of relating (Masclet et al.\, 2018 ; Masclet\, 2025); and sexual sociability venues serve to establish new ties based on specific erotic practices (Rubin\, 2010; Warner\, 2000; Race\, 2018). Queer intimacies\, deviant\, stigmatised and in the minority\, may aim to break with the hegemonic frameworks of relational approaches or some of their aspects (Berlant and Warner\, 2018; Madesta\, 2022). While the distinction is useful\, the aim is not simply to oppose ‘safe’ intimacy and heteronormative intimacy: power relations and violence are present among gender and sexuality minorities (Lejbowicz\, 2020; Scodellaro et al.\, 2024) and homosexual unions are not always distinct from heterosexual unions (Courduriès\, 2011). With the diversification of intimacy frameworks\, it is not easy to determine what a queer relationship is. But we can ask questions about how minority lifestyles develop singular ways of relating. The analysis of intimacy frameworks draws on materials serving to document relationships and the ways in which they are perceived. What\, then\, are the archives of intimacy? To leave a trace\, intimate relationships must\, in one way or another\, be made visible. The framing of intimacies thus contributes to determining the conditions of their access to social existence and memory. The biases limiting our knowledge of them are well known. Ego-documents and personal archives provide information first of all on the individuals with the resources to produce them by dint of their social class (for example\, intimate journals and correspondence from the 19th and 20th century\, see Artières and Laé\, 2014; Muller\, 2019; Vidal-Naquet\, 2014). Violence also exists\,\nprimarily from the standpoint of legal proceedings\, necessarily partial and biased (Lett et al.\, 2020; Demartini et al.\, 2024). A further key aspect here is conservation. This is a long-standing issue\, calling for mountains of documents that are less systematically archived than institutional documents\, the historical legitimacy of which appeared to be evident (Schlagdenhauffen\, 2025). \nThese traces of intimacy have thus been disseminated more in the memoirs of families or associations and\, lacking the support of political institutions\, their existence is fragile\, even if community archives have today become a much considered issue (Trou noir\, 2024). The question here is not just the privilege of certain intimacies\, hegemonic and destined to be remembered; it is also about the archives of minority or dominated lives\, the affects they carry\, and their shameful or problematic aspects (Cvetkovich\, 2003). More generally\, the methods used to investigate intimacy also merit discussion. An interest in the archives of intimacy may be marked by a fascination for the singular or the meaningfully subtle\, but archives of a more institutional naturemay also document the norms of intimacy and the challenges to those norms. Taking as its starting point the frameworks and systems of intimacy\, as well as the diversity in the ways we relate\, this international conference proposes four avenues of research. \n– The political framing of intimacy by the state and law.\n– The skills\, resources and positions involved in the framing of intimate relationships.\n– The diversity and diversification of relational approaches and ways of qualifying them.\n– The dark side of intimate relationships\, including violence\, conflict and dependency. \nThese avenues are not exhaustive; other approaches are possible. The conference is open to all geographical eras and historical periods\, the aim being to compare and contrast different approaches in the human and social sciences. Consequently\, methodological thinking on the methods of investigating intimacy is also welcome.

SUMMARY:Lecture | Pride lezing - Gender Natuurlijk!
DESCRIPTION:Mannen zijn mensen die zaad produceren\, en vrouwen mensen die eicellen maken. Punt uit. Aldus Trump in zijn officiële decreet\, uitgevaardigd één dag na zijn inauguratie. Gender is een gevaarlijke ideologie en biedt geen stabiele basis voor identiteit. Met één pennestreek haalde Trump een streep door al bijna drie eeuwen wetenschappelijke en maatschappelijke discussie. \nSinds de Verlichting staat de ‘natuur’ centraal bij kwesties over identiteit en (on)gelijkheid. Natuur speelde vooral bij sekse en seksualiteit vaak een normerende rol: homo’s\, lesbo’s en transen werden weggezet als ‘onnatuurlijk’\, en feministen als vrouwen die hun ‘ware natuur’ verloochenden. Deze lezing over tweeslachtige betekenis van ‘natuur’ en de vele soorten verzet\, tegenspraak en omarming van dat begrip vanaf het einde van de negentiende eeuw helpt om gender vandaag beter te begrijpen. En gemakkelijke definities of harde polarisatie te ondermijnen. \nOver de spreker \nProf. dr. Geertje Mak is hoogleraar Politieke Geschiedenis van Gender aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam en werkt als senior researcher bij NL-Lab (KNAW). Zij publiceerde twee boeken over de West-Europese geschiedenis van mensen die buiten de lijntjes van gendercategorieën kleuren (Mannelijke Vrouwen en Doubting Sex). Daarnaast schrijft zij over migratie- en koloniale geschiedenis. Haar meest recente boek is Huishouden in Nieuw-Guinea. Zending en het kolonialisme van goede bedoelingen. \nDe lezing kun je ook online bijwonen!

SUMMARY:Summer School | Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity in International Law: Human Rights and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:This summer school focuses on the emergence of sexual orientation\, gender identity (SOGI) and intersex issues in different areas of international law\, such as human rights law\, refugee law\, international economic law\, and international criminal law. \nThe five-day summer school on SOGI 2025 in International Law is held each summer in The Hague. The course focuses on the emergence of SOGI and intersex issues in different areas of international law. Participants learn about the history of the rights of LGBTQI+ persons in the international sphere\, about current developments around the world and about the potential for future progress on equality. While some lectures will focus specifically on sexual orientation\, on gender identity/expression\, or on sex characteristics (together sometimes called SOGIESC)\, other sessions will focus on specific regions (including Africa\, and Latin America) or on specific topics. \nSpecial attention will be given to important precedent-setting cases that have helped to achieve some international protection against homophobia and transphobia. Themes include: global and regional human rights mechanisms\, recognition of diverse sexual orientations and gender identities in refugee law\, protection for women and LGBTQI+ persons in international criminal law\, and the role of international and non-governmental organisations.

SUMMARY:Summer School | The Intersectional Humanities
DESCRIPTION:The inaugural European Intersectional Humanities Summer School will be held at Maynooth University in Summer 2025. It will offer an innovative and transformative experience at the intersection of critical theory\, social justice and humanities scholarship. Convened by Professor Anna Hickey-Moody\, the Summer School will bring together scholars\, activists and students for an immersive exploration of how intersectionality shapes and is shaped by the human experience across various fields of inquiry.\nWith a focus on fostering inclusive\, interdisciplinary dialogue\, this immersive event features an exceptional lineup of distinguished guest appearances from Tapasya Narang\, Dónal Hassett\, Jeneen Naji\, Sandy O’Sullivan\, Jennifer Redmond\, Divya Garg\, Richard Huddleson\, Marissa Willcox and Gavan Titley. These expert voices contribute to the rich landscape of discussions and practice-based workshops that address key themes of race\, gender\, identity\, coloniality and the socio-political dynamics influencing the humanities today. The Summer School not only provides a platform for engaging with complex ideas but also emphasises the importance of building solidarity across diverse communities in academic and activist spaces. \nAttendees will have the opportunity to engage in collaborative learning environments\, where they can critically interrogate dominant narratives and reimagine new possibilities for a more inclusive and equitable future. Through lectures\, discussions of texts\, and hands-on workshops\, participants are invited to engage in deep reflection on the practical applications of intersectional thinking to fields like literature\, history\, media and cultural studies. The inaugural Intersectional Humanities Summer School at Maynooth University marks a significant step forward in creating spaces where the humanities can more meaningfully intersect with global struggles for justice\, equity\, and representation.

SUMMARY:Conference | Sex and Gender in Ancient Egypt : roles\, norms and transgressions
DESCRIPTION:The aim of the ‘Sex and Gender in Ancient Egypt: Roles\, norms and transgressions’ conference\, to be held in Paris on 12 and 13 June 2025\, is\, through the various communications which will be proposed\, to establish an overview of the issues surrounding gender roles and sex relations in Ancient Egypt. \nThis approach is in keeping with the work of gender studies carried out over the last sixty years in the fields of anthropology\, sociology and history of sex and gender\, from the founding work of the so-called “French school” (N. Claude-Mathieu\, C. Guillaumin\, Fr. Héritier\, M. Perrot) to the work of the Anglo-Saxon school of the 1990s and 2000s (A. Oakley\, J.W. Scott\, G. Rubin\, J. Butler and R. Connell). \nSince the late 1980s and early 1990s\, Egyptologists have used the framework of gender studies to study the gendered differences between women and men in art\, literature\, society and language. This work has also sought to shed light on the mechanisms of the social relationship between men and women in ancient Egypt\, based on a discourse of valence différentielle between the sexes. In addition\, in certain contexts\, this work has made it possible to identify the real capacity for action (or agentivity) of women in Egyptian society\, according to other criteria such as social status or age. \nFollowing on from this initial movement\, other researchers have also taken an interest in questions of sexuality\, in particular sexualities outside the spectrum of (hetero)sexual norms\, thus inaugurating the field of queer studies in Egyptology. A number of studies on gender relations from the perspective of Egyptian masculinities have also emerged. In parallel with these case studies\, a number of works and review publications have been published with the aim of establishing the potential contribution of gender archaeology or gender history to Egyptology. Since then\, this field of study has been constantly renewed in Egyptology\, thanks to in-depth work on the subject\, ranging from monographs to articles and doctoral dissertations. \nThis conference is also in line with the recent conferences devoted to women and their roles in ancient Egypt (Cairo\, October 31 to November 2 2019)\, to provide a complementary synthetic position on the contribution of gender studies to this discipline. \nThe conference will address topics as diverse as the construction of masculinities and femininities; the relations between gender and language; the gendered conceptions of the divine; the role of women in religion and in productive spaces; gender at the origins of Egypt; and gendered representations in art and literature. The submitted contributions may come from fields as varied as history\, art history\, archaeology or linguistics\, from the perspective of gender\, sexuality and queer studies. \nPresentations should be given in English or French\, each lasting 20 minutes\, with 10 minutes for questions. As the conference will take place on site\, face-to-face presentations will be privileged.

SUMMARY:Conference | Queer Pasts: What’s Queer in Queer History?
DESCRIPTION:Queer history commonly refers to the study and documentation of the lives\, experiences\, cultures\, and struggles and joys of LGBTQ+ people in the past. It covers a wide range of topics\, including how gender and sexual diversity has been expressed\, understood\, and regulated in different societies\, as well as how political\, social\, and cultural movements have sought to challenge discrimination and promote LGBTQ+ rights. In this sense\, queer history is about carving out the contours of queer and trans lives\, communities and cultures of the past. \nQueer history is about challenging traditional ideas about archives and representation. Much of queer history has been erased\, suppressed\, silenced\, or ignored by mainstream historical narratives. Queer historians have had to work creatively to uncover queer histories\, using letters\, diaries\, court records\, photographs\, and oral histories to reconstruct the lives of LGBTQ+ people. \nQueer history often challenges proper objects of study. While queer history aims to understand and shed light on LGBTQ+ pasts\, we do not always know beforehand how these sexual and gendered categories emerge and assemble in distinct historical or contemporary situations. Therefore\, queer history increasingly investigates the intersection of LGBTQ+ identity with other marginalized identities\, including race\, class\, and disability. It can be argued that modern categories of gender and sexuality cannot be understood outside the violent historical and cultural fabrication of racial difference during slavery\, colonialism\, and imperialism. In this way\, queer history often intersects with other critical approaches\, such as feminism\, postcolonialism\, and critical race theory\, to understand how gender and sexuality are shaped by other social factors like race\, class and disability\, as well as mechanisms of inclusion and exclusion. \nQueer history is also about queering history. To question and challenge History’s research traditions as well as contest binary categorizations such as male/female\, heterosexual/homosexual\, and normal/deviant. To deconstruct and rethink how these categories have been created and used in different societies over time\, and how they have aBected people’s lives\, identities\, and behaviors. \nQueer history might question whether modern categories like “trans”\, “gay” or “lesbian” can be applied to people in the past\, or whether doing so erases the specific contemporaneous\, historical and cultural meanings of their sexual or gender practices. It seeks to uncover new ways of thinking about sexual and gender diversity that are not limited by present-day definitions and imaginaries. \nAligned with this\, queer history might explore temporalities that allow us to think about history in fluid and nonlinear ways\, and question ideas of progression narratives from a “repressed” past to a “liberated” present. In doing so\, queer history is often more interested in moments of rupture\, discontinuity\, and contradiction\, showing how past and present understandings of sexuality and gender intersect in complex ways. \nThe conference Queer Pasts: What’s Queer in Queer History aims to discuss and critically explore the “queer” in queer and trans history. We invite dialogues about and engagement with methodologies\, temporalities\, theories and analytical approaches that interpret\, imagine and preserve queer and trans history as queer. \nWe invite individual papers and panels including but not limited to explore the following: – What makes history “queer” beyond the documentation of LGBTQ+ figures and events? \n– How can we locate and study queer in historical times\, where same-sex relationships and same-sex sexual practices did not have particular names nor carried particular associations with them? How can we locate and study trans in historical times\, where trans identities\, practices and communities had other names and forms? How can we talk about LGBTQ+ history when historical subjects and societies did not use modern LGBTQ+ identities or terms? \n– How can queer historians use archives that reflect oppressive or discriminatory structures (such as medical and criminal records) to tell the stories of queer and trans people? How do we methodologically engage with such archives and how do we tell queer stories of the past without reiterating the violence\, inherited in the archive and historical sources? \n– How do queer and trans histories intersect with other axes of identity\, such as race\, class\, and disability? How have histories of slavery\, colonialism\, and imperialism shaped modern understandings of gender and sexuality? \n– How can queer history disrupt linear historical narratives that portray progress from repression to liberation? How can we work with queer temporalities in history research? \n– How do queer historians address the erasure\, silence\, and suppression of LGBTQ+ people and communities in archives? How do we provide voice to silenced individuals and groups? What does a ‘queering’ of contemporary historical studies and history research entail\, for example\, queering histories of the welfare state\, transnational connections\, or popular culture? \n– What new historiographical methods and approaches are needed to uncover and accurately represent queer histories? Relatedly\, which types of empirical sources can be fruitful to uncover new queer histories? E.g.\, photographs\, fiction literature\, folk tales\, etc.

SUMMARY:Deadline | Call for Papers and Submission: On our own terms? On the contestations of feminist knowledges and minoritarian politics in current times
DESCRIPTION:We are at a time when critical knowledges and minoritarian politics are contested by a variety of actors\, ranging from social movements to political parties and institutions. Think of the – by now (in)famous – anti-gender and anti-feminist discourses that pervade the global landscape\, casting sexual and gender education as well as reproductive and LGBTQIA+ rights as a threat for children\, the ‘natural order’ of society\, and the national community at large. At the same time\, supra-national institutions like the EU\, the UN\, or the IMF operationalize reproductive and LGBTQIA+ rights or environmental discourses as developmental benchmarks that the peripheries need to catch up to. Not coincidentally\, we are witnessing in many countries of the Global South\, such as India\, Uganda\, and Colombia\, not just the rise of anti-feminist and anti-gender discourses\, but the articulation between them and new nationalist narratives featuring the critique of colonialism and of Western imperialism. All this is happening while imperialist Russia conducts political and ideological wars under the banner of fighting Western hegemony and defending the ‘traditional family’. Adding to such a complex landscape\, postcolonial perspectives and expressions of solidarity with Palestine after October 2023 have been harshly condemned in most of Europe as well as the United States. In universities particularly\, concerns have been related to questions of ‘safety’ and ‘antisemitism’\, thus raising questions about the meaning – as well as the current status – of academic freedom. Highlighted here are but a few conspicuous cases operating in a vast and differentiated landscape that is underpinned by the workings of global capitalism. \nWhat we see in all these instances is that many of the political signifiers that ‘we’ as critical scholars and politically engaged actors deploy reappear in sexist\, racist\, homophobic\, transphobic\, Islamophobic\, antisemitic and other discourses for exclusionary\, oppressive\, and ideological purposes. ‘Safety’ and ‘anti-semitism’ themselves are cast against those same minority groups in which these signifiers are habitually mobilized. ‘Gender’ – the analytical tool at the core of Gender Studies and other critical fields – is mystified as a specter aimed at destroying and perverting children\, families\, and society at large. Anti-colonial and anti-imperialist struggles and practices enter nationalist rhetoric and function as tools\, not just for further marginalizing gender\, sexual\, or indigenous minorities\, but for denying the responsibilities of (neo)colonial entities. Similar reversals happen with many other (more or less dubious) signifiers\, such as ‘critical race theory’\, ‘social justice’\, and ‘woke’\, to name a few. While attempting to trace these discursive developments on a global scale\, it is also crucial to consider the specificity and thus the complexity of this type of politics across geopolitical contexts. \nIn this conference\, we aim at exploring these processes of (re-)appropriation\, resignification\, thwarting\, cooptation\, and hijacking of critical knowledges and minority claims. Our concerns are not with mere semantics\, but with discursive practices and politics. In doing this\, we seek to better understand the current historical conjuncture\, also in order to be able to conceive of political alternatives and strategies for resistance and change. We also highlight the importance of and invite reflections on transnational collaborations in countering oppressive narratives. Aside from 20-minute paper presentations\, we encourage a variety of other presentation formats in the conference\, including roundtable discussions\, conversations\, interviews\, visuals\, multi-media and performance. \nWe invite contributors to reflect on questions related to the conference topic\, including: \n• How do we understand and define these processes of ‘(re-)appropriation\, resignification\, thwarting\, cooptation and hijacking’ by (far-)right populists\, religious conservatives\, authoritarian populists\, (neo-)fascists\, liberals\, conspiracists\, and other political and institutional actors? \n• Is there something in ‘our’ (feminist\, queer\, antiracist\, anticolonial) discourses that makes signifiers such as ‘gender’\, ‘colonialism’\, ‘safety’\, and others vulnerable to such processes? \n• What are the genealogies and (longer) histories of these processes\, and how do we trace and narrate them in connection to the current political moment across the globe? \n• What are the strategies implemented by critical scholars and feminist\, queer\, antiracist\, and anticolonial political actors to ‘speak back’ to their detractors and conceive of political alternatives? \n• What practices of solidarity are possible\, especially in light of the current mediascape that invisibilizes and erases those conflicts that are happening in such locations as Sudan\, Congo\, or India? \n• All too often we focus on how the attacks on critical knowledges and minority politics unfold in Northern American and European settings\, but what about similar discourses and practices that play out beyond the Global North and the European West? \n• How do digital and social media platforms transmit both the spread and suppression of (appropriated) feminist and minoritarian discourses? \n• How does environmetal justice inform (the appropriation of) feminist and minoritarian discourses? \n• How do institutional policies affect academic freedom\, and how might these be challenged? \nAbstracts (400 words max.) must be sent to ringsutrecht@uu.nl\, before May 1\, 2025. At the end of the abstract\, in the same document\, please add a short bio (100 words max.).

SUMMARY:Call for Papers | Gender and sexuality in museum collections exhibitions (deadline: 31 March)
DESCRIPTION:While the history of the LGBTQIA (Lesbienne-Bi-Trans-Queer-Intersex-Asexual-Asexual-Asexual-Asexual) communities is included in sections of board museums\, there are few that are devoted exclusively to them\, such as the Schwules Museum in Berlin (1985)\, the Unstraight Museum in Stockholm (2011)\, the GLBT History Museum in San Francisco (2011). In the more particular field of art\, specialized agencies are under international development (the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art in New York acquired museum status in 2011\, and QUEERCIRCLE opened in June 2022 in London)\, but hardly exist in France. While many museums and French scientific projects (the Summer University of the Kandinsky Library “Drederate” the museum and its sources: the queerness in the or the research project Queering the Exhibition – Queering the Archive conducted at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure d’Art de Bourges) have begun reflections on gender and sexual relations in artistic creation\, there are only rare practices on the field. As LGBTQIA people are a minority facing structural discrimination\, this project seeks to understand the role that museum collection exhibitions around the world play in representing society and marginalized groups. \nThis issue uses the concept of “gender\,” but also “queer\,” as tools for analyzing gender norms and sexuality\, in the verbal sense of “queering” to capture strategies and devices presenting objects in a way that challenges heteronormative discourse irrigating the institutional narrative. If the art historian Patrik Steorn claims\, in an article translated for the number 30 of Culture and Museums dedicated to the Museums with the prism of the genre in 2017 (under the direction of Charlotte Foucher-Carmanian and Arnaud Bertinet)\, that applying the concept of queer to the museum is an oxymoron\, in that it escapes all that is enclosing everything that is attached to it and everything that has the power to be. However\, the museum could serve as a space for change of society (Sanders III\, 2007)\, through work on exposed biographical data and artistic practices (some of them such as performance and textile practices have been historically appropriate by marginalized groups)\, as well as work to develop conservation practices\, such as the development of artists’ sexuality and the use of queer as an analytical tool (Barendreg\, 2017). Thus\, the theme of issue No. 45 of the Journal of Museum Education of 2020 focuses on the educational function of the museum and the work of its mediators in the US context: “Quereizing” the museum would be much more than discussing LGBTQIA stories and would aim to deconstruct the standards that govern visibility and inclusion (Prottas\, 2020). In the same year\, Nikki Sullivan and Craig Middleton invited people to move away from traditional museology through an open and located process that\, in expography\, knowledge production and public engagement\, provides an understanding of objects preserved as tools to depart from assigned standards (Middleton and Sullivan\, 2020). This issue thus seeks to understand how the mechanisms for mediation and valorizing collections that can be described as “quer”\, that is to say\, that is to say\, that criticize relations of gender and sexuality\, modify the discourse present within the exhibitions of museum collections. \nProposals may be submitted to Quentin Petit Dit Duhal\, Director of this issue until 31 March at the following address: quentinpetitdd-hotmail.fr. These texts will take the form of a summary of up to 3 000 signs\, containing a title – even provisional – and a specific issue. Proposals may be sent in French or English (translation is possible if the finalised texts are accepted). \nIn the event of a positive opinion (circumvention April 2025)\, the author will undertake to submit its fully drafted article (maximum 30\,000 signs\, including spaces and notes) by ensuring that the magazine’s standards are complied with by 30 June 2025. \nOnce received\, the text will be anonymous and submitted to a double-blind assessment by the members of the drafting committee and the external experts who form the peer-reviewed committee specific to each issue. At the end of the evaluation process\, the author will receive the reasoned opinions of its two proofreaders\, as well as that of the director of the number. Its text may be accepted\, subject to minor or major corrections\, or refused.
