UK Conference on Intersections of Aging, Gender & Sexualities

The University of Surrey in the UK is hosting an international conference on July 6-7 on “Intersections of Ageing, Gender and Sexualities,” with speakers from Israel, Iran, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Spain, Italy, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, the U.S., and, of course, the U.K. 

Sociology Professor Toni Calasanti from Virginia Tech is giving the opening keynote address.  The half day sessions are separated into “themes,” including Embodiment, Temporal (Dis)location, Queer Kinship, Representations, Intersections, and Age, Gender, Sexuality and Care.  Several of the sessions explore relationships between sexuality and menopause.
