The 3rd International Queer Death Studies Workshop: the programme soon to be announced!

Dear all,
We have received a great number of fantastic paper proposals for The Third International QDS Workshop Death and Dying in a Queer Context, which has made the selection process extremely difficult (and a bit painful, too)!

But, in this connection, we’ve also decided to create an extra time slot and begin the event earlier, i.e. at 10:15 on 30th May.

This means that the workshop takes place on:
30th May from 10:15 – 18:00
and
31st May from 10:15 – 16:00.

We are trying to change the times in this FB event, but the edit option doesn’t seem to work. We’ll do our best to sort this out soon!

Deadline EXTENDED

Dear all,

Due to many requests we received, we have decided to extend the abstract deadline for The Third International Queer Death Studies Workshop until 18th March 2018. You can find more information on the workshop, including the CfP here, or in the pdf version here.

We hope that in this way those of you who would like to take active part in the workshop and haven’t managed to get in touch with us will now have a few more days to do so!

We are so much looking forward to hearing from you and to the workshop itself!

Official launch of Queer Death Studies Network

Queer Death Studies Network (QDSN) was officially launched in November 2016 at the G16: Swedish National Gender Research Conference in Linköping and has been vividly developing since then. The network constitutes a space for researchers, students, artists, activists, and other practitioners who critically and (self) reflexively investigate and challenge conventional normativities, assumptions, expectations, and regimes of truths that are brought to life and made evident by death, dying, and mourning.
