A One-Day Student Conference Organised by the Centre for Transforming Sexuality and Gender

With Dr Kevin Guyan: Author of Queer Data and the forthcoming book Rainbow Trap: Queer Lives, Classifications and the Dangers of Inclusion.

Box breakers live outside the narrow demands of gender, sex and sexuality categories. They are the residue of design practices – what is left behind after everyone else is organised into neat and tidy categories.

We are inviting UG and PGR students to contribute a short (10 minutes) presentation on a theme relating to sexuality, gender and/or the notion of box breaking.

This one-day conference includes:

  • Keynote presentation from Dr Kevin Guyan.
  • Student presentations.
  • Lunch
  • Q+A Panel Discussion
  • Networking and refreshments

 

Date: Tuesday 20th May 2025

Time: 9.30am – 4pm

Venue: Hellerup Stairs, 1st Floor, Mithras House, Moulsecomb Campus // or Microsoft Teams
