HDR/ECR Workshop as part of the ANU Gender Institute Signature Event: Gender, Sexuality and Assaults on Rights in Modern Europe in collaboration with the Australian Association for European History 2023 Conference.

This ANU Gender Institute workshop is aimed particularly at HDR candidates, and is also open to staff, working in history and gender/sexuality studies, but may also be of interest to researchers across the humanities and social sciences. Together with Professor Jennifer V. Evans of Carleton University in Canada, author of the recently published The Queer Art of History: Queer Kinship after Fascism (Duke UP), participants will be encouraged to reflect on their own work in relation to questions such as the following:

• What is the productive power of desire?
• How might we write about gender and sexuality in the past and present in ways that look beyond violence and trauma?
• What might it mean to practice queer kinship in our scholarship? How might we imagine and enact more coalitional ways of being?

There is no charge for attendees but registrations are essential.

Recommended readings will be circulated in the week prior to the workshop.

This workshop is hosted by the ANU Gender Institute in collaboration with the Australian Association for European History, the ANU School of School of Literature, Languages and Linguistics and the ANU School of History.
