It is also a space that is considered deeply gendered and sexualised. The ways in which individuals and societies imprint ‘home’ either consciously or unconsciously as a gendered and sexualised space have both material and theoretical legacies. However, research into the embodied relationships between bodies and gender/sexuality performance and the spatial production of homemaking is still relatively underdone. What are the multiple and diverse experiences of homemaking? How are particular forms of heterosexuality normalised or contested in the home? What are the transgressive practices that expose the normalisation of heterosexuality? How might GLBTIQ families be creating – or challenging – new homonormativites in and through the home?</div><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">This session seeks to explore lived and theorised homespaces; the various embodied intimacies, loving expressions, haptic knowledges, material attachments and methodological processes that can be produced in or about the home. The embodied practices and materialities of homespaces have begun to be explored by, for instance, Morrison (2012) in work on heterosexual bodies and touch, Oswin (2010) on the queerness of model family homes, Gorman-Murray (2006; 2007; 2011; 2012) on heteromasculine and queer domesticities, and Longhurst et al. (2009) on diasporic homespaces, viscerality and the connection to food. This work scratches the surface of the diversity of cultural practices, fluid sexualities and innovative research methodologies that we could weave into our research praxis. This session also aims to include an intersectional dialogue that examines not only hetero/homonormativities and straight or GLBTIQA homes but also the diverse homemaking practices of the differently-abled, people of colour and those of any class or religion to enable new understandings of ‘home’.</div><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br></div><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br></div><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Suggested topics:</div><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">• Hetero/Homosexual performativities in the home</div><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">• Intimacies and touch</div><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">• Transgressive heterosexualities</div><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">• Polyamory and domesticity</div><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">• Human-companion animals relations and petafilia</div><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">• Neighbourliness and intimacy </div><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">• Domesticity, friendship and intimacy</div><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">• LGBTI and queer homemaking practices</div><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">• Queer approaches to different household forms (family, group, single, etc)</div><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">• Gender inequalities and efforts to redress this </div><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">• Queer methodologies in home research</div><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">• Differently-abled intimacies in the home</div><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">• Class, race, ethnicity, religion and homemaking practices</div><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br></div><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br></div><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">References:</div><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Goodfellow, A. and Mulla, S.
