Socio-Legal Studies Association Annual Conference, 30 March- 1 April
2010, University of the West of England, Bristol, UK.
Gender, Sexuality and Law Subject Stream Call for Papers
As in previous years, I’m circulating this first call for papers early
so as to enable international speakers to finalise their travel plans.
The stream seeks to draw together socio-legal scholarship from across
the globe, featuring scholars from a range of disciplines relating to
the broad theme of gender, sexuality and law.
Past papers have considered sexuality and education law, queer theory,
same-sex marriage, gender and parenthood, sex work, domestic violence,
public sex, sexuality and the media, religion and sexuality,
international comparisons, and theories of gender but papers pertaining
to any area of gender, sexuality and law will be considered.
Last year the stream also benefited from a wonderful film by award
winning New Zealand film maker Susan Potter. Following conference
feedback, I am keen to create a space for film, poetry and the arts as
part of the stream this year and would welcome proposals that address
these activities in addition to the usual academic papers.
I am happy to discuss any proposals prior to submitting an abstract or
activity proposal.
Abstracts and activity proposals (no more than 250 words) should be sent
to [log in to unmask] by January 29th 2010 although sooner
submission is typical and preferred. This will help with conference
planning and enable me to give confirmation to those speakers who need
confirmation for funding and travel submissions.
The SLSA conference website is not yet active but a link will be on the
main site in due course. This can be located at: http://www.slsa.ac.uk
