Description

This interdisciplinary session brings together scholars researching bodies and identities which are potentially out of place or even, displaced. We invite papers which look at how space and place can effect or shape identities. Furthermore, we hope to examine the potentialities and/or consequences of embodying conflicting identities for different groups in different socio-cultural contexts. This could include, but is not limited to, feelings of belonging, practices of Othering and/or the displacement of bodies and identities.

This session welcomes papers that address, but not limited to, the following broad themes:
Identities
Labelling and blame
Space and Place
Embodiment
Belonging and Othering
Displacement
