The 2016 conference De-story the Joint will be hosted by a group of Queensland universities: the Committee is led by Dr Margaret Henderson (University of Queensland) and Dr Sharon Bickle (University of Southern Queensland). De/storying the Joint is a reference to the Australian feminist activist collective, Destroy the Joint. The conference is interested in capturing this activist energy as well as the way feminism seeks to ‘destroy the joint' by de-storying narratives.

De/storying will be taken as a theme for this conference as a site for questioning the discursive frameworks surrounding the construction of gender and sexuality, and an invitation to broadly reinterpret the political, social, cultural, literary and economic issues facing feminists.
