'Queer in Brighton: Differences, Place and Histories'
The theme of the 7th Annual BSSN Conference is 'Queer in Brighton: Differences, Place and Histories'. It will take place on Wednesday 18th September 2013, 8.45am-5.00pm at the University of Brighton, Grand Parade Campus.
Co-Organisers: Brighton & Sussex Sexualities Network (BSSN), Queer in Brighton and Brighton Trans*formed
This conference seeks to work across activist/academic debates in order to develop understandings of LGBT and queer life stories, histories and differences in Brighton and beyond. How is place important to queer politics and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans lives? What are queer life stories and queer his/her/hir-stories? How are these celebrated/contested? Who is left out of these stories? How can we tell our life stories and his/her/hir-stories? What does it mean to be/do/practice 'queer', 'now' and 'then'? How do queer practices and understandings relate to embodied considerations, such as those relating to health? What are the norms/canons of queer representation in Brighton and other Sussex heritage sites? Is a queer historiography needed to tell a queer history? What politics do these themes bring to the table?
