CALL FOR PAPERS: SKY Course: Conducting history of sexuality, gender diversity and queer ‒ concepts, theory and methods (5 ECTS), 25-27 October 2021

Course de­scrip­tion
This doctoral course focuses on the theoretical and methodological questions of conducting research on the histories of sexualities, gender diversity or queer. During the past decades, the study on the history of sexuality and gender diversity has grown into an internationally recognized and diverse field, producing rich theorization on how to address past sexualities and gendered subjectivities in their various forms, temporalities and locations. Hence, the theoretical approaches developed in this field have been applied to varying geographical and temporal contexts. In addition, the histories of gender diversity in the context of for example, trans and intersex experiences, have often been developed in connection to queer history.

This course is open for doctoral candidates whose work is connected to the topics of sexualities, gender diversity or queer in history, working under any discipline, on any historical period and any geographical area. The course consists of participating in the conference “Histories of Sexualities, Gender Diversity, and Queer in the Nordic and Baltic Region” (25-26 October), either with your own presentation or without one, and a one-day workshop following the conference (27 October) which focuses on the participants’ own dissertation work. During the workshop, participants will receive expert feedback on their papers (dissertation chapters, article manuscripts, work-in-progress) from the teachers and other doctoral candidates.

The course is free of charge and will take place at the University of Helsinki or, situation demanding, via Zoom. The participants need to cover their own travel and accommodation expenses. SKY-doctoral students will have a prioritized entry to the course, but it is open to other PhD students from universities in Finland and abroad. The maximum number of admitted students will be 6 to allow sufficient time for engagement with each students’ work during the workshop.

A key question of interest in the project is understanding how minorities resist biopolitical violence.
