NOISE Summer School 2023: Q***R, TRANS, SEXUAL ARCHIVES

Twelve years after the first NOISE summer school devoted to le***an and gay s*xualities and Q***r Studies in Europe, this year’s NOISE returns to the topic while engaging with key transformations in the study of s*x, s*xuality, and s*xual politics. By now the field of Q***r and Le***an & Gay Studies has been reshaped by the emergence and consolidation of Transgender Studies and by an ongoing process of critical clarification (and transgression) of the boundaries between q***r and trans. Is there any difference between Q***r Studies and Transgender Studies? And how does each field engage with the study of s*x and s*xuality? Additionally, Q***r and Transgender Studies have been increasingly rethinking their objects – gender, s*x, s*xuality – through the kaleidoscope of colonial histories and racial formations. In the past twenty years, q***r and trans of color critiques and postcolonial/decolonial analyses have been moving, if precariously, from margin to center within the field. What are the effects of this shift on the theory and politics of s*xuality?

This edition of the NOISE summer school will introduce students to key debates and interventions at the crossroads of these developments, paying particular attention to the relations between q***r, trans, s*xual archives, ongoing processes of field formation in Q***r Studies and Transgender Studies, and contemporary s*xual politics.

Date and location:
28 August – 2 September 2023, Utrecht University, The Netherlands

Reminder! You can still register for the Doing Gender Lecture by Kehinde Andrews

On Monday 30 January 2023, Prof. Kehinde Andrews (Birmingham City, School of Social Sciences, UK) will give the first Doing Gender lecture of the new year! 'The Battle for Black Studies: Decolonising knowledge is not just ‘academic'

In September 2017 we have launched the first Black Studies degree in Europe at Birmingham City University. Far from this being a celebration of having Black perspectives at universities, the aim is to use the opportunity to use the university to develop what Robert Staples called the ‘science of liberation’. Black Studies has a long history in the UK, being done in the grassroots in community organisations and supplementary schools. This talk will discuss the importance of developing a critical Black Studies at the intersection and the tensions of housing the degree and research in the university space. Black Studies is essential, but can it flourish in the institutionally racist space of academia?

Time: 17.30-19.00 hrs.
Location: Utrecht University Inner City campus
Chair: Dr. Koen Leurs
