Queer theory has been established as an academic movement since the 1990s, but as theory and as methodology (epistemology) it remains almost unrepresented in post-Soviet academia.

The aim of the conference is to create a space for scholarly discussion of studies informed by queer theory, which analyze the normative order of gender and sexuality as well as problematize traditional theories of sexuality. However, we understand queer theory not as LGBT studies, but as critical analysis of the implications of power, knowledge, and politics through which “Others” are constructed and naturalized.
