Join us to discuss how the global South has been leading current shifts in the politics of gender, sex and sexualities. Specifically, we seek to examine and explore past and present South-North relations regarding the legal treatment of subjects in terms of their sex, gender and sexual identities. Indispensable to this North-South polarities conversation are the voices from the Social Sciences, Law, and Humanities. We seek to establish a fruitful interdisciplinary dialogue that would proffer a holistic perspective on how certain policies have shaped and will shape the social and legal regulation of subjects based on their gender, their bodies and their desires. For that reason, we invite papers across disciplinary boundaries and from all constituencies, among others, on the following topics:
- Marriage
- Families
- Adoption
- Labor
- Violence
- Child Rearing
- Children’s Rights
- Reproductive Rights
- Poverty
- Immigration
- Discrimination
- State Protections
- State Criminalizing Practices
- Emerging fields of State Regulation
- Health
