Brighton and Sussex Sexualities Research Network Conference

University of Sussex, Wednesday 17th September 2008

This is the second annual conference of the Brighton and Sussex Sexualities Network (BSSN), an inter-university research network aimed at supporting research (and researchers) who work on issues of sexualities within the universities of Brighton and Sussex, the wider Sussex area, and beyond.

The one-day conference will take place on Wednesday 17th September 2008, and will be hosted by the Universities of Brighton and Sussex.

Registration:

Please complete the registration form and forward it to Dr Kate O’Riordan, enclosing a cheque for your fees:

• Registration form
• Fees: £20 staff/waged and £10 student/unwaged

Contributions:

We are inviting contributions in the form of presentations, discussions, workshops or performances that address research being undertaken in the area of sexualities. 

Although the core of the event will be based on the work of researchers from the Universities of Brighton and Sussex, and independent researchers from the wider Sussex area, submissions from outside of the region are welcomed, and links to other research networks and areas actively encouraged.

Contributions are welcomed in any area of sexualities research, which might include :

• Arts and Architecture
• Development Studies
• Education
• Health
• Humanities
• Life Sciences
  
• Management and Information Systems
  
• Media and Cultural Studies
  
• Medical and Health Sciences
  
• Science, Engineering and Technology
  
• Science and Technology Policy
  
• Social Sciences, including all related disciplines and subject fields
  
• Sport, leisure and Tourism Studies

Contributions to the conference are welcomed as:

• Papers
• Workshops
  
• Posters
  
• Installations/performances/screenings
  
• Discussions of personal research focus and agenda
  
• And other alternative modes of representing work.

This conference aims to bring together researchers from a range of disciplines so contributions should be designed with a diverse audience in mind. Posters and discussions of research agendas were successful and appreciated last year and we would encourage submissions of this kind as well as other alternative modes.
