Event Summary

Inviting scholars, activists, artists, community members, and practitioners to submit proposals for a two-day virtual conference focused on the rich, complex, and often marginalized intersections of disability and sexuality.

This event seeks to centre disabled voices, challenge assumptions, and open space for conversations about love, desire, pleasure, and intimacy. An opportunity to reimagine what desire, love, sex, and connection can look like when approached through the lived experiences of disabled people.

-> Disabled 2SLGBTQ+ sexualities
-> Access intimacy and care relationships

-> Sex education and reproductive justice
