This two-day conference will feature keynote presentations from Dr Nick Mulé (York
University, Canada); Prof Peter Aggleton (University of New South Wales, Australia/UCL
Institute of Education UK); Dr Tracey Sagar and Deb Jones (University of Swansea, UK)
and Michael Häusermann (Dialogay, Geneva, Switzerland).
The theme over the two days will explore the intersectionalities of sexuality with the
complexities of contemporary society, specifically in relation to social work research,
education and practice. The aim of this conference is to explore the boundaries of these
complexities by linking the intersectionalities of sexuality with social work practice,
research and education. It seeks to explore those issues and topics within sexualities
that are of interest to social work academics, students, practitioners and service users.
This conference takes place on 18 & 19 August 2016 at University of Applied Sciences
and Arts Northwestern Switzerland FHNW, in Olten, Switzerland. To view the latest
programme and to book your place at the conference, visit our website.
We especially welcome proposals that utilise practitioner or service user perspectives,
those that are empirically based and those that involve new and emerging topics. We
are keen to facilitate the exchange of ideas between practitioners, service users,
students and researchers/academics.
Paper proposals are for presentations that will focus on an individual research topic,
or report on the development of a new intervention or policy. Papers will be
presented for 20 minutes, with time for questions in a themed session of related
papers.
Workshops/symposia are for a group of related papers or a workshop on a topic for
either 45 or 90 minutes (approximately).
Posters provide an interactive forum in which authors can present work to
conference attendees during the conference.
Abstracts should not exceed 350 words.
Registration and Submission open 7 November 2015.
The deadline for submissions is 31 January 2016. Confirmation of papers accepted
will be available by 1 March 2016.

Depending on space, those making more than one submission, if accepted should
