Below is the Call for Papers for QFP’s 2021 Conference.
What are the sociopolitical factors shaping and connecting far-right discourses on gender and sexuality in the Middle East and Europe?
In this section, we are interested in understanding how issues of sex, sexuality, gender, and intimacy have gained currency among the far right. We want to explore the historical continuities and cross-regional overlaps in how the far right address these issues. We welcome studies that unpack the heterogeneities and inconsistencies of these discourses and practices from an intersectional perspective.
