SEXUALITY SUMMER SCHOOL 2018: QUEER LONGING THE UNIVERSITY OF MANCHESTER, 21st – 25th MAY 2018 We are very excited to announce the invited speakers for the 11th annual Sexuality Summer School. The Sexuality Summer School brings together postgraduates, researchers and international scholars along with artists, performers, filmmakers, and activists to facilitate discussions that speak to contemporary debates in queer and feminist sexuality studies with a clear emphasis on the interdisciplinary study of culture. Over five days, postgraduates come together with invited speakers, performers, and artists in workshops to discuss key queer and feminist debates in sexuality studies relating to this year’s theme ‘Queer Longing’. These daytime workshops are accompanied by public events, which are open to all. The Sexuality Summer School 2018 will take place at the SALC Graduate School at the University of Manchester, with public events taking place at cultural and arts centres throughout the city of Manchester, including HOME and the Centre for Chinese Contemporary Art. Registration for the Sexuality Summer School is open to postgraduate taught and research students (Masters and PhD) involved in the study of sexuality. Registration will go live beginning at 9am on 1st March at estore.manchester.ac.uk<http://estore.manchester.ac.uk>. Registration costs £150, which includes the cost of tickets to the public events.
