Call for Papers: Sexuality and Space
Annual Meeting of the Association of American Geographers, Las Vegas
22-27 March 2009
Co-Organised by Natalie Oswin (McGill) and Robert Vanderbeck (Leeds), on
behalf of the Sexuality and Space Specialty Group of the AAG
The Sexuality and Space Specialty Group is organising a series of
sessions for the 2009 annual meeting. We envision 4-5 sessions held
consecutively on the same day. Although we are open to papers on a range
of topics, we would particularly welcome papers on the following
themes/subthemes:
* the life course (e.g. migration, childhood/youth, age and ageing, life
transitions, temporalities, and related issues)
* religion and faith (e.g. religion and gay rights discourses; sexuality
and spirituality; anti-gay fundamentalisms; relations between secular
and religious gay activism)
* global intimacies (e.g. diaspora, geopolitics, global cities, scale,
mobilities, postcoloniality)
* legal geographies (e.g. the law and the transgender body; civil
unions; the policing of public sex; the regulation of sex work)
* domesticities (e.g. home and housing, family, 'households' and
cultural politics)
With these sessions, we hope to put various theoretical approaches (such
as queer, feminist, postcolonial, Marxist and poststructuralist) into
conversation as we explore the uses of sexuality in the production of
space.
Please send proposed titles and abstracts of up to 250 words to Robert
Vanderbeck ([log in to unmask]) or Natalie Oswin
([log in to unmask]) by October 3 2008.
