IASSCS International Conference: Sex & Secrecy
(22-25 June 2003)

IASSCS logo   4th Conference of the International Association for the Study of Sexuality, Culture and Society (IASSCS)   

The conference will be hosted by the Wits Institute for Social and Economic Research (WISER), and the Gay and Lesbian Archives of South Africa (GALA), and The Graduate School for the Humanities and Social Sciences, Faculty of Humanities, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg from 22-25 June 2003.

Conference Programme

Preamble

The conference papers have been organised into seven thematic clusters that will form the intellectual pillars of Sex and Secrecy. These are The Power of the Secret; Confession and Taboo; Hidden Codes, Local Rules; Unsettling Sexual and Gender Identities; Sexuality, Sexual Meanings and HIV/AIDS; Public Discourse, Private Realms; and The Politics of Sexuality: Global Sex, Local Practice.

Within these themes cognate papers have been grouped together into smaller sessions. In grouping the papers the conference convenors have generally avoided regional or topic based connections. And have instead tried to devise sessions that will generate creative conversations between delegates located in different disciplines and across geographical and thematic boundaries.

Note: The Conference committee have accommodated all time tabling requests and no further requests will be entered into by the committee.
