Celebrate this year’s Bi Visibility Day in Manchester with the first ever Critical Sexology Up North event, featuring two of the speakers from last year’s international BiReCon event: Christian Klesse and Anna Einarsdottir.
Critical Sexology is a successful seminar series which has been running in London for nearly a decade. It is an interdisciplinary seminar series for psychologists, psychoanalysts, medical doctors, literary and cultural studies scholars, philosophers, artists, lawyers and historians with a critical interest in the construction and management of gender and sexuality in the medical, human sciences, discursive and cultural spheres.
Established in 2002, Critical Sexology has since held three seminars per year, with meetings taking place in London.
From 2011, one seminar out of the three they organise per year will be held at a university in the North. This first will be in Manchester:
23 September 2011, 2pm-6pm: Relationships
