global forms of racialised domination. By taking desire as its starting place, the conference will aim to problematize how race shapes desire (and desire shapes race) in as diverse forms as gender, sexuality, consumerism, identity, embodiment, occupation,
territory, knowledge and the possessive investments that often underpin claims to belonging and indeed being. Importantly, the conference will focus on desire within both mainstream and marginal communities, and from across borders and communities, and draw
upon a broad understanding of what constitutes ‘desire’. It will also consider the desire for difference.
