Dear QP friends,
We hope you are all well!
This year, our scholarly network celebrated the ninth edition of the QP conference this year in Sydney and our book series with our dedicated publisher Peter Lang, Oxford is celebrating the imminent publication of Queering Paradigms VII: Contested Bodies and Spaces (isbn 978-1-78874-529-1).
For next year, our grassroot teams in Africa and Asia are not yet ready to organise QP10. We have therefore decided to team up with friends from Pisa, Italy from Queer Studies Centre CIRQUE (Centro Interuniversitario di Ricerca Queer).
CIRQUE is organising its second conference on Performativity: Pasts, Presents, and Futures in Pisa 28-30 June 2019
QP@CIRQUE will host a full parallel stream under its established broad Applied Queer Studies focus and look forward to bringing our QP-signature ethos of providing a genial and supportive space to researchers in all stages of their career.
We welcome paper proposals (20mind+10mins discussion) and panel proposal (4papers).
