Gender and Sexuality Studies

Sciinov Group welcomes you to the “7th Edition: Global Congress on Gender & Sexuality Studies (Gender & Sexuality Studies 2024)” HYBRID EVENT during 10-11, March, 2025 in San Francisco, CA, USA. The Gender & Sexuality Studies 2024 is scheduled in Hybrid Mode and will allow participants to join In-Person at San Francisco or Virtually from Home or Office.

The main theme of the congress is “Intersectionality and Beyond: Towards Inclusive Approaches to Gender and Sexuality”

About Theme:

"Intersectionality and Beyond: Towards Inclusive Approaches to Gender and Sexuality" encapsulates a pivotal shift in the discourse surrounding gender and sexuality studies. This theme underscores the recognition that traditional approaches to understanding these complex issues often fail to capture the full spectrum of human experiences and identities. Instead, it calls for a more nuanced and inclusive framework—one that acknowledges the intersecting influences of various social categories such as race, ethnicity, class, ability, and more.

At its core, intersectionality acknowledges that individuals hold multiple identities, each of which intersects and interacts with others to shape their lived experiences. For example, a woman's experience of gender may be profoundly influenced by her race, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, and other factors. By considering these intersecting identities, intersectionality reveals the interconnected nature of systems of oppression and privilege and highlights the need for approaches to gender and sexuality that are comprehensive and inclusive.

Moreover, "Intersectionality and Beyond" signals a commitment to moving past mere acknowledgment of intersecting identities and towards action-oriented, inclusive approaches. It challenges researchers, activists, policymakers, and practitioners to explore the complexities of gender and sexuality with sensitivity to the diverse experiences of individuals across various social locations. This includes amplifying the voices of marginalized communities, centering their experiences in academic and activist discourse, and advocating for policies and practices that address the intersecting forms of discrimination and inequality they face.

In embracing this theme, the 7th Edition Global Congress on Gender and Sexuality Studies seeks to foster critical dialogue, interdisciplinary collaboration, and transformative action. It invites scholars and practitioners from diverse backgrounds to engage in rigorous analysis, share innovative research and best practices, and collectively envision a future where gender and sexuality are understood and navigated in ways that honor the richness and complexity of human diversity.

Ultimately, "Intersectionality and Beyond" serves as a rallying cry for advancing social justice and equity in the realms of gender and sexuality. It challenges us to push beyond the confines of simplistic categorizations and towards a more holistic understanding—one that recognizes and celebrates the myriad ways in which individuals experience and express their gender and sexuality within the broader context of intersecting social structures and systems.

Gender and Sexuality Studies 2025 will zoom in on pressing challenges in the field and the barriers that communities face on global, regional, and local levels in their fight for gender equality. Gender and Sexuality Studies 2025 will take place in the lively city of San Francisco, CA, USA on the 10-11, March, 2025.
