We are wholeheartedly invitting you to a conference organized by the Society for Queer Memory, the Institute of Economic and Social History at the Faculty of Arts, Charles University, and the Faculty of Fine Arts BUT in Brno. The conference will deal with queer history in the Czech Lands in Central European and international context in autumn 2019 at the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the ground-breaking conference Homosexuality in the Czech Lands and the Humanities. By “queer history” we mean approaches to historical research, which endeavor to critically analyze heteronormative structures in society and stereotypes in thinking, related to the bipolar image of gender and biological sex, using the selection of topics and applied methods.

The program of the confernce is already announced and features Hanna Hacker and Gerard Koskovich as keynote speakers.
