2021

  • Conference: Exhibitionism. Sexuality at the Museum, 9.-11. Dec 202. 

    Organized together with the Kinsey Institute (Indiana University, Bloomington), the Wilzig Erotic Art Museum (WEAM, Miami), this international three-day online conference brought together professionals from a diverse array of practices and disciplines from all around the world to explore, learn, connect, and share their experiences about this important topic.

  • Workshop: Gender/Queer and Jewish Studies. Approaching an interdisciplinary field of research. 28.09.2021. Workshop of the research group Gender/Queer and Jewish Studies at the Selma Stern Centre. Based on the observation that there is a lack of feminist and gender- and queer-theoretical approaches within Jewish Studies, the research group would like to deal with gender and critical heteronormativity research within Jewish Studies and thus support efforts to think together these disciplines, which have so far often been considered separately from each other. Further information can be found here.

  • Workshop: Taking Museum Engagement on Histories of Sexuality and Gender Online, 22. July 2021.This knowledge exchange workshop brought together curators, museum educators, and academics currently developing digital public engagement work around histories of gender and sexuality in order to discuss and reflect on what are the hurdles and what we can gain from conducting this work online. Jointly organised by Hannes Hacke from the Research Center and Dr Ina Linge, co-director of the Sexual Knowledge Unit at the university of Exeter.
