Queer & Sexuality Studies Workshop

Queer & Sexuality Studies Workshop (Virtual)

Figure of Study- Jack Halberstam

Call for Participants

We are pleased to invite you to join a never like before 4-Day Book Reading Workshop on Queer Theory & Sexuality Studies from (Saturday) November 15th to  (Tunesday) November 18th. 

Across borders, bodies, and centuries, this workshop invites students, scholars, thinkers, readers, academicians, artists, agitators into an urgent, intimate, and collective study. Together, we’ll read failure, female masculinity, desire disorder, queer time, gaga feminism, and otherness. If you have ever wanted to disappear into a glossary, argue with a dead lover, or hold a mirror to the ones who could never name you- come. Bring your untranslatable self.

We welcome participants worldwide. If you wish to present in a language other than English, please let us know in advance, we will do our best to support linguistic plurality.

A small fee of ₹400 (for Indian nationals) and £10 (for international participants) will be requested to support the production of the workshop.

We look forward to your participation.
