Sex and sexuality in East-Central European contexts are relatively new topics of academic inquiry. While the past five years have seen a growing academic interest, from histories of queer life, prostitution and sexology to ethnographies of lgbtq movements and queer literary representations, forums for scholars working on sex and sexuality in East-Central Europe have often remained fragmented and disciplinarily bound.
This conference strives to contest and bridge these boundaries by bringing together scholars from a wide range of disciplinary perspectives to ask: What are the driving questions, theoretical and conceptual issues, and social and political realities that have shaped research agendas in this area? How can we work together to expand our understandings of these issues and realities and their consequences? How can the site of East-Central Europe, past and present, challenge us to theorize and politicize sex and sexuality in new ways?
