HISS2025 took place from 17 to 28 February at the University of Sydney! It was a pleasure to host brilliant emerging scholars like Jose Jorge de Sousa (@jorgejsousa@bsky.social) from the State University of Paraíba.

Looking forward to more inspiring conversations!

#HISS2025

SSSHARC is thrilled to have interdisciplinary scholars like Mikeas Silva de Lima from the University of Manitoba in our queer-led classroom at #HISS2025!

Mikeas is excited about HISS for the opportunity to merge their research and teaching practices with sexuality studies.

The Hunt-Simes Institute in Sexuality Studies starts today, and we are excited to meet our cohort! Joe @joejukes.bsky.social attended the inaugural HISS in 2023 and is excited to connect with colleagues old and new in 2025.

#HISS2025

From 17 to 28 February, #HISS2025 will bring together 18 researchers from 17 institutions worldwide.

Meet Leah Shackman @leahshackman.bsky.social, a PhD researcher from the University of Exeter.

Leah is excited to visit Sydney and to connect with sexuality researchers from around the world.

The Hunt-Simes Institute in Sexuality Studies (HISS) will facilitate a queer cohort model of embodied learning and knowledge building. Meet this year’s participant, Tori Yang, from the University of British Colombia/Yale University.
