CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS

Studying digital vulnerabilities, violence and resistance:

methodological challenges and epistemological dilemmas in gender and 
sexualities research

One day online symposium

University of Brighton, UK

31st March 2021

Keynote by Dr Debbie Ging (Dublin City University), co-editor of Gender 
Hate Online:

Understanding the New Anti-feminism (2019).

We are pleased to announce the call for papers for the forthcoming 
symposium entitled ‘Studying Digital Vulnerabilities, violence 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 
epistemological discussions, methodological challenges, ethical dilemmas 
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 contribute. We invite proposals that explore, 
but are not restricted to, the following topics:

-Digital vulnerabilities

-Digital violence (cyberbullying, doxing, 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 encouraged to articulate their proposal around the 
methodological aspects of their research, which may also include 
epistemological debates, ethical problems, technical issues and 
innovative research methods. 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 February 1st 2021.
