Gender and Sexuality Politics Conference (GSPC)

We are thrilled to welcome you to the inaugural Gender and Sexuality Politics Conference (GSPC), co-hosted by the APSA Women’s Caucus and LGBTQIA+ Caucus. This flagship event has received over 40 paper submissions, representing scholars from 11 Australian universities and 10 international institutions, bringing together a wide range of voices, perspectives, and experiences.

The program spans a wide range of timely and critical themes, including:

• Gender politics and policy-making

• Feminist international relations

• Decolonial (feminist) theory and practice

• Backlash against women’s and/or LGBTQIA+ rights

• The media, arts, and legal reform

• Men and masculinities

• Politics and resistance of non-binary, genderqueer, intersex, and trans communities

To ensure accessibility and affordability for all scholars, the GSPC will be online only. We will make full use of online opportunities for networking, mentoring, relationship-building and sharing with one another.
