The aim of this conference is to serve as a forum for developing and discussing papers that IFjP hopes to

publish. These can be on the conference theme or on any other feminist IR-related questions.

Call for papers

Feminists taught us that the personal is political. International Relations feminists taught us that the

personal is international. And contemporary Queer Scholars are teaching us that the international is

queer. While sometimes considered in isolation, these insights are connected in complex and sometimes

contradictory ways. This conference seeks to bring together scholars and practitioners to critically

consider the limits and possibilities of thinking, doing, and being in relation to various assemblages

composed of queer(s), international(s), and feminism(s).

Questions we hope to consider include: Who or what is/are (im)possibly queer, (im)possibly

international, (im)possibly feminist, separately and in combination? What makes assemblages of

queer(s), international(s) and feminism(s) possible or impossible? Are such assemblages desirable – for

whom and for what reasons? What might these assemblages make possible or impossible, especially for

the theory and practice of global politics?

We are interested in papers and panels that explore these questions through theoretical and/or practical

perspectives, be they interdisciplinary or located within the discipline of International Relations.

Sub-themes include (Im)Possibly Queer/International/Feminist:

-- Heteronormativities/Homonormativities/Homonationalisms

-- Embodiments/Occupations/Economies/Circulations

-- Temporalities/‘Successes’/‘Failures’

-- Emotions/Desires/Psycho-socialities

-- Technologies/Methodologies/Knowledges/Epistemologies

-- Spaces/Places/Borders/(Trans)positionings

-- States/Sovereignties/Subjectivities

-- Crossings/Migrations/Trans(gressions)

-- (In)Securities

We invite submissions for individual papers or pre-constituted panels on any topic pertaining to the

conference theme and sub-themes. We also welcome papers and panels that consider any other

feminist IR-related questions.

Any inquiries should be addressed to Joanna Wood at cait at sussex.ac.uk

Abstracts should be no more than 250 words.

Deadline for submissions: January 31, 2013

We will, however, confirm acceptance of submissions before the deadline if we receive abstracts early.

Early submission is therefore recommended.
