Queering Paradigms Hybrid / Virtual Symposium
Queering Religious Paradigms: Critical Approaches to Gender & Sexuality/-ies in Religious Thought and Practices.
Dear all,
Due to the ongoing pandemic and the necessary travel restrictions it is still not possible to plan for a meeting in person this year. Therefore, QP has teamed up with the Transgressive Religions network (Paris) and will host a limited-theme hybrid/virtual symposium on (28-) 29 (-30) June 2021:
Queering Religious Paradigms: Critical Approaches to Gender & Sexuality/-ies in Religious Thought and Practices.
Due to the limited nature of the joint symposium, the number of presentations will be restricted and only feature proposals focussing on queer & trans*/religions intersections.
If you want to present, please send a paper proposal (short bios and abstracts up to 300 words) to info (at) queeringparadigms.com until 15 March 2021.
More information about how to virtually participate or view the symposium will follow in due course.
Hopefully we can meet again in person in 2022/23.
All the best,
The QP Team

Cancellation of QP 2020 in Kyoto
Dear QP friends,
Unfortunately, we have to cancel the QP colloquium in Kyoto (planned for May 2020) due to the ongoing global pandemic of Covid-19.
We hope we get to see all of you in the not too distant future at one of our next Queering Paradigms conferences. We will keep you updated through our website and our Twitter and Facebook accounts. Please stay tuned.
Keep safe, healthy, and in queer solidarity with each other in these difficult times!
With best wishes,
The QP Team
Announcing: QP 2020 Colloquium in Kyōto (Japan)
It our great pleasure to announce this year’s QP conference.
QP 2020 will take the shape of an intimate colloquium at
Ryūkoku University, Kyōto, Japan
22-24 May 2020.
The colloquium’s theme will be “Queering Religion and Culture” with a local focus on East Asia.
Confirmed international key guest speakers include Kathleen McPhillips (Newcastle, Australia) and Naomi Goldenberg (Ottawa).
The colloquium is envisioned to be small scale with minimal logistic support. Therefore, regrettably, any QPers old and new wishing to participate will need to make all their arrangements independently.
Paper proposals (short bios and abstracts up to 300 words) can be sent to
info (at) queeringparadigms.com until 10 April.
More information will follow in due course.
