Roots and Futures of Sexuality Studies

Sexuality studies is a dynamic interdisciplinary academic field exploring various aspects of human sexuality. This field encompasses a wide range of topics, including cultural, historical, psychological, social, political, and biological aspects of sexuality, including how sexualities have been represented in and produced by arts, media, and other cultural representations. Scholars and researchers in sexuality studies examine how sexuality is understood, experienced, and expressed in different societies and contexts. In Finland, sexuality studies have had very few own organisations, events or networks and scholars working on sexuality-related topics have often found their place among scholars of gender studies, critical studies of men and masculinities, queer studies and trans studies.

We invite researchers whose work focuses on studying sexuality from humanities or social science perspectives, regardless of the specific academic discipline, to join our workshop. This workshop represents an opportunity to engage with the complex and crucial questions of sexualities. Presentations in Finnish, Swedish or English are welcome, and they may address empirical questions of sexuality, theories and concepts in sexuality studies, as well as topics such as cultural and historical perspectives, the social construction of sexuality, intersectionality, sexual health and education, political and activist dimensions, queer studies and beyond. Likewise, presentations mapping the developments in the field of sexuality studies are welcome.

The workshop organisers are part of the new Critical Sexuality Studies Network (CRISSE), established at the University of Turku, which is open to researchers focusing on diverse sexuality-related issues.
