> How can we bring sexualities activism into the seminar room?
> * Do universities support or hinder activist work?      * What are 
> the challenges of researching activism from 'within'? Or from 'outside'?
>
> This list is by no means exhaustive and we encourage submissions 
> that address a broad range of questions current within sexualities research.
>
> We welcome abstracts of app. 500 words for conventional papers 
> (lasting 15 minutes) together with other critical interventions 
> including posters, presentations, workshops and performances. 
> Although the core of the event will be based on the work of 
> researchers from the Sussex region, submissions from further afield 
> are welcomed, and links to other research networks and areas 
> actively encouraged. BSSN aims to bring together researchers from a 
> range of disciplines and from a variety of academic and non-academic 
> backgrounds. Therefore contributions should be designed with a
