Event in English, organized by the Queer Kinship Network Siena–Oxford–Toronto.
The Queer Kinship Research Network is a collaborative project headed by Silvia Antosa, Charlotte Ross, and Paolo Frascà, queer scholars in English Studies and Italian Studies. The collaboration explores the histories and new transformative shifts of queer affective bonds and familial dynamics, examining the impact of recent legal changes, social developments, scholarly contributions, and cultural representation. By fostering critical debate and interdisciplinary exchanges, the project seeks to develop a deeper awareness of diverse configurations of queer bonds and families within a plural, multicultural, and inclusive framework. While grounded in the study of the English and Italian-speaking worlds, the research project also intends to identify trends, create new methodologies, and explore the transcultural and transnational circulation of discourses on non-normative/marginalized affective bonds and queer families.
