NOG Research Day
Hosted by the Amsterdam Research Centre for Gender and Sexuality
Gender in Trouble, Gender in Transformation
NOG Day 2024 – Programme (link)
Gender and sexuality are intensely intertwined with a range of crises of our time: as sites of moral panics, as terrains of social and political transformation, as symptoms of contemporary crises. The intense and distinct roles that gender and sexuality play within contemporary societies worldwide raises many questions: from “Who’s afraid of Gender?” to what kinds of transformations are taking place in the name of gender and sexuality; from how questions of gender and sexuality are reshaping our societies to what is happening with our understanding and conceptualization of sex and gender along the way; from a discursive focus on gender and sexuality, to the entrenched ways in which these are also crises and transformations of class, race, ability, citizenship regimes, and other markers of inequality and difference.
The 2024 NOG Research Day is animated by these questions and focuses on the presentations of work in progress by PhD students working on questions of gender and sexuality.
