Queer Questions to Representational Politics – Symposium 10-18 Uhr

Organiser: Politics of Philosophy and Gender Group of the Research Centre of Excellence in Political Thought and Conceptual Change, funded by the Academy of Finland.

The two-day symposium begins with keynote speeches analysing the mechanisms of political discrimination as well as the exclusion of queer representatives and issues, and continues with a focus on the obstacles and opportunities for a political career in an era when it’s more and more the voter who shapes politics. The second day emphasises different modes of queer politics – who gets represented, what kinds of issues can be proposed and promoted, and what might be the queer alternatives to conventional politics.
