Gender, Sexuality and Law

This stream seeks to draw together socio-legal scholarship from across the globe and features scholars from a range of disciplines relating to the broad theme of gender, sexuality and law. Past papers have considered same-sex marriage and citizenship, queer theory, gender and legal history, gender, sexuality and parenthood, sex work, domestic violence, homophobic hate crime, sex education, sexual violence, public sex, sexuality and the media, religion and sexuality, comparative perspectives, obscenity law and abortion. Papers relating to any area of gender, sexuality and law will be considered.

 

The stream also welcomes creative presentation of research and has in the past included poetry, film and performance.

 

In recent years the Gender, Sexuality and Law stream has filled up quickly. Early submission is therefore strongly encouraged.
