Apologies for cross-postings
Second call for papers:
Intimate Geographies
IAG Conference, James Cook University,
Cairns, Australia, 27-30th September 2009 (http://www.iag.org.au/conferences-events/iag-conference-cairns-2009/)
Sponsored by: Cultural
Geography Study Group
Session organisers: Carey-Ann
Morrison and Lynda Johnston, University of Waikato
This
session aims to draw together the growing bodies of work on geographies of
gender, sexualities and emotions. Studies into the relationship between
sexuality and/or gender and space continue to provide valuable insights into
the production of bodies and places. This session seeks to add to this
extensive scholarship by encouraging presenters to explore the particularities
and intersection of gender and sexuality with emotions. Emotional geographies
have recently emerged as a valuable lens through which to explore the politics
of identity construction. Combining the insights gained from spatialised
studies into gender and/or sexuality with emotional geographies brings forth a
new type of ‘intimate geographies.’
This
call for paper welcomes explorations into the intersections of gender,
sexuality and emotions with other identity axes including race, ethnicity,
class, disability, age, spirituality. Papers may be theoretical, methodological
and/or empirical in nature.
Papers will be 15 minutes in
length with 5 minutes for discussion. Please include the names and
institutional affiliations of all presenters/authors and up to 4 keywords with
your abstract (of no more than 200 words) and send to Carey-Ann Morrison at [log in to unmask] by 9th
April 2009.
