The conference will explore diverse forms of intimacy and family, particularly in relation to LGBT and other non-normative sexualities. It will highlight how personal lives are embedded in the public and the political, and how changes in the wider context affect expressions of gender and sexual identifications and influence family relations and structures. The conference will focus in particular on lifecourse and life transition outside the heterornormative framework, social and legal context of intimacy, and perceptions and narratives on non-normative sexualities and families.
The conference is free and open to the public, but registration is mandatory.
