‘Studying Digital Vulnerabilities, violences and resistance: 
methodological challenges and epistemological dilemmas in gender and 
sexualities research’
2020 12th June, 2020

Centre for Transforming Sexualities and Gender and Centre for Digital 
Media Cultures, University of Brighton, East Sussex, UK.

We are pleased to announce the call for papers for the forthcoming 
symposium entitled ‘Studying Digital Vulnerabilities, violences and 
resistance: methodological challenges and epistemological dilemmas in 
gender and sexualities research’.

The symposium is organized jointly by the Centre for Transforming 
Sexuality and Gender and the Centre for Digital Media Cultures at the 
University of Brighton, UK. This multidisciplinary symposium aims to 
bring together academics and professionals, to discuss, advance and 
exchange ideas on the use of Web-based methods to research social 
phenomena such as violence, social suffering, intimacy, activism, or 
inequality.

The day will focus on methodological challenges, ethical dilemmas and 
epistemological discussions that scholars have encountered and how they 
have overcome them. Academics working on digital vulnerabilities and 
digital violence, as well as those working outside academia, involved in 
challenging inequality and discrimination (through activism, advocacy, 
art, etc.), are invited to attend and to contribute.

With this in mind, we invite proposals that explore, but are not 
restricted to, the following topics:
-Digital vulnerabilities
-Digital violence (cyberbullying, doxxing, etc.)
-Sexual violence in digital environments
-Other forms of gender violence in digital environments
-Digital sexual practices
-Circulation and representations of violent contents
  -New forms of e-discrimination
-Digital intimacies
-Toxic technocultures
-Social practices on the Deep Web and Dark Web
-Conflicts on the web (social media etc)
-Digital activism

Presenters are in particular encouraged to articulate their proposal 
around the methodological aspects of their research, which may also 
include epistemological debates, ethical problems, technical issues, 
innovative research methods, etc.
We call for potential speakers to submit a short proposal in English.
Abstracts should not exceed 300 words.
Please also include a short biographical note (150 words max).

The deadline for the submission of proposals is April 15th, 2020.
