Objectification and sexualisation - submission deadline: 4th of August
Objectification is a core concept in feminist thought, often used for articulating what is going wrong in phenomena like catcalling, sexist advertising, and unwelcome sexual attention. At the same time, treating one another as sexual agents, even sexual objects, has been defended as an often important and joyful part of life. Both concepts have seen a recent resurgence in discussions of newer forms online content-creation, from TikTok to OnlyFans.
We are interested in hearing about any new work on sexualisation and objectification. We welcome contributions on questions such as (but not limited to): What is the difference between sexualisation and objectification? How do we sexualise and objectify others - is it a kind of paying attention? How does this work? What is the relationship, if any, between dehumanisation and objectification? When is objectification benign or good? Is it ever wrong to not sexualise someone? What is the relationship between sexual and non-sexual objectification? Is it possible for a person to objectify themselves? What is the impact of social media on objectification and/or sexualisation?
This event is organised by philosophers, but we welcome applications from those working in other disciplines too. Talks will be 30 minutes, with 15 minutes for questions. This will be an in-person event, but we aim to provide provision for speakers who cannot travel to join us online.
Are you working on sexualisation or objectification? Come share your research at our December workshop!

The new porn review has been out for 18 days, and the response has been mostly positive. But Im really worried about what will happen next if the recommendations get implemented.
We've seen attempts to draw lines between good & bad porn before, and it doesnt go well.

Chilling from Cardiff UCU:
“Sadly we feel unable to comment. The university’s HR department has informed us that should we provide comment to journalists covering the VC personally we may be investigated for breaching the anti-bullying Dignity at Work policy.”

Giving an online talk for QUB Philosophy seminar this afternoon! This paper has been restructured a million times so if you're attending the talk and would like to see me put my head in my hands and weep, you should suggest that I restructure it.
