PGR Annual Conference - Beyond Fluid Identities? New Sensitivities in the 21st Century

‘Identity’ exists as a key question not only in academic research, but also in our social and personal lives. Who we are and how we came to be continues to be challenged and interrogated on individual and global scales. The importance of research in this field endures not only as a site of academic intrigue, but as political, social and personal phenomena.

Our one day conference includes paper presentations from post graduate researchers, from UK and international universities, who are conducing fascinating and vital research on identity and its many manifestations in the social world. 

Themes include, but are not limited to;

• The construction of the self in the contemporary world
• New tensions in the construction of identities
• The sensitive world and identity
• Identity and power in national crisis
• Going beyond Identity Politics
• Gender and sexuality; LGBTQ identities, feminisms and masculinities
• Social class, poverty and inequality
• Race, ethnicity and identity
• Belonging and migration; global and local identities
• Representations of identity; media, discourse and culture

Event is now fully booked.
