The Sexuality Summer School is a five-day event for postgraduates, organized by the Centre for the Study of Sexuality and Culture (CSSC) at the University of Manchester since 2008. The Sexuality Summer School brings together postgraduates, researchers and international scholars, and also artists and filmmakers, to facilitate dialogue and discussions that speak to contemporary debates in queer and feminist sexuality studies, with a particular emphasis on the interdisciplinary study of culture. In 2014, our focus will be on cultural theories and histories of anatomy.

The Sexuality Summer School includes public events (see below for details) with Jaspir Puar (Rutgers), Jim Hubbard (director, United in Anger), Richard Dyer (Kings), Valerie Traub (Michigan), Peggy Shaw and Lois Weaver (Split Britches), Mary Bryson (British Columbia) and Chase Joynt (Chicago). The Summer School will also include workshops with Claudia Castañeda<http://www.emerson.edu/academics/departments/liberal-arts-interdisciplinary-studies/faculty> (Emerson), with Erika Alm<http://www.kultur.gu.se/english/contact/All_staff/erika-alm/> and Kajsa Widegren<http://www.kultur.gu.se/english/contact/All_staff/Kajsa_Widegren/> (Gender Studies, Gothenburg) and members of CSSC at the University of Manchester, including: Jackie Stacey<http://www.manchester.ac.uk/research/Jackie.stacey/>, Monica Pearl<http://www.manchester.ac.uk/research/monica.pearl/>, David Alderson<http://www.manchester.ac.uk/research/david.alderson/> and Laura Doan<http://www.manchester.ac.uk/research/Laura.doan/>.
