Sexuality Network of the European Social Science History Conference invites papers on the history of sexuality (ESSHC), bi-annual conference
Ort: Ghent
Zeit: 13.-16.2010
Deadline: 01.05.2009
The Sexuality Network of the ESSHC is seeking to become the leading European arena for new work on the history of sexuality. We welcome proposals for full panels (3-4 papers) as well as offers of individual papers. Papers and panels on all historical periods are welcome.
We are particularly interested in encouraging proposals on histories of sexualities and nationality, ethnicity, post-colonialism, or globalisation. Papers and panels exploring sexualities beyond the „West“ however construed are especially encouraged. Papers on methodological or historiographical questions in the history of sexualities, are also strongly encouraged. We want to receive more proposals on sexualities before the modern era too.
Our criteria for inclusion in the programme will be to highlight those panels and papers that display innovation, theoretical rigour, and exciting directions in research into the history of sexuality.
The range of interests covered by the Network are wide and previous gatherings have included work on historical approaches to: sexual activity; sexual identities; heterosexuality; homosexuality; marriage, divorce, extra-marital sex; celibacy, masturbation; fertility and its technologies; sexual subcultures; geographies of sexuality; rural sexualities; prostitution; sexually transmitted disease; HIV/AIDS and sexuality in historical perspective; cultural representations of sexuality; medicalization of sexualities; sex education; moral reform movements; legal regulation of sexuality; sexual violence; globalization and sexuality; historiographical approaches to sexuality; Marxist, queer and feminist historiographies.
All proposers of papers (and all panel participants) must pre-register at the conference website in order for their offers to be considered: http://www.iisg.nl/esshc/ Information about the conference fees and conditions are also available at this site.
The deadline for paper and panel proposals is 1 May 2009. You (and all panel participants if applicable) must also pre-register by this date.
