Call for Papers | InterQueer: Crossing Queer and Intersectional Lenses in Historical Practice

The research groups Queer and Feminist Studies at the European University Institute and Storie di Sessualità e Genere at the University of Padua invite researchers to a two-day workshop aimed at fostering new reflections on queer and/or intersectional perspectives in historical research. The workshop seeks to critically discuss how tools, categories, and practices are shaped by heteronormative assumptions and the presupposition of fixed identities, and, conversely, how queer and intersectional approaches can help us to interpret the past in a fuller and more complex manner.

We invite scholars of early modern and modern history to submit proposals based on their empirical research which investigate the contributions of queer or intersectional historical approaches, or the intertwining of both. The call for papers is open to everyone, but early career scholars are particularly encouraged to apply.

Deadline: November 28, 2025
