Deadline: September 15, 2024

Baltic Study Group

VIRTUAL CONFERENCE

Baltic Sexualities in Global Perspective

31 October – 1 November 2024

The conference aims to bring together scholars from various disciplines who explore, theorise, and seek to address historical, social, legal, and political aspects of sexuality (of any historical period) within the present day territories of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. Sexuality is broadly defined as a range of emotional, physical, and psychological dimensions, characteristics, behaviours, and attractions that relate to a person’s sexual orientation, sexual activity, sexual identity, and sexual desires. Sexuality can involve, but is not limited to, sexual orientation (such as LGBTQ+ and/or asexuality), romantic attraction, and experiences of intimacy and pleasure. In addition, sexuality is inextricably linked to social/cultural norms and values, as well as legal and medical knowledge production.
