Connecting Sexual Ethics and Politics is the Second International Conference of the International Network for Sexual Ethics and Politics (INSEP): it takes place at the end of August 2012 in Ghent, Belgium

Background

INSEP seeks to provide a critical and dynamic space for cutting edge thinking, new research and key discussions and debates about issues of sexual ethics or politics, whether conceptual and theoretical discourse, analytical studies or empirically constituted insights. INSEP sees the value in the fullest range of approaches to the study of sexual ethics and politics, including: gendered and feminist perspectives; distinctive lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and transsexual perspectives; queer perspectives; and approaches from more general positions such as liberalism, Marxism and democratic theory. The 2012 conference seeks to be an inclusive space of debate, welcoming dialogue and vigorous debate, but not sectarianism.
