Queer Legacies, New Solidarities

A conference presented by Deakin Gender and Sexuality Studies, the Australian Women’s and Gender Studies Association & the Australian Lesbian and Gay Archives. For more information please see the website<https://blogs.deakin.edu.au/gender-and-sexuality-studies-research-network/about-us/queer-legacies-new-solidarities/>.

Deakin University and State Library of Victoria, 22-24 November 2018

It has been over four decades since second-wave feminism and Gay Liberation. 2018 is the 40th anniversary of the Australian Lesbian and Gay Archives. In bringing together the Australian Lesbian and Gay Archives and the Australian Women’s and Gender Studies Association for the first time, this conference aims to reflect on collective histories and explore what kinds of solidarities can take us into the future. In the context of the marriage debate and its aftermath and renewed debates about patriarchy and misogyny, the activist and intellectual work of the 1970s is being revisited in a variety of ways.  Similarly, activist campaigns across a range of issues including indigenous sovereignty, the detention of refugees, disability rights and cuts to welfare programmes have renewed a focus on practices of solidarity and coalitionist politics associated with the 1970s. As a conference that invites people who are both inside and outside of universities, it is an exciting opportunity to reflect on ways for doing work in sex, gender and sexuality across university and community settings. This conference invites presentations and panels on a wide variety of historical and contemporary topics related to sex, gender and sexuality, including work on masculinity and heterosexuality.  In particular, we encourage feminist, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer work.
