…was an interdisciplinary seminar series for psychologists, sociologists, psychoanalysts, medical doctors, literary and cultural studies scholars, philosophers, artists, lawyers, historians, and activists with a critical interest in the construction and management of gender and sexuality in the medical, discursive and cultural spheres. It was active from 2002 to 2020.
Critical Sexology was established in 2002 by Iain Morland and Lih-Mei Liao. In 2006, Lisa Downing and Meg-John Barker became co-organizers, joined by Robert Gillett in 2008. The three ran the series until 2018, when Elliot Evans, Stephanie Davis, and Jos Twist took over.
Critical Sexology typically hosted two or three seminars per year in London, Birmingham, and a range of locations in the North of England. One session per year was traditionally devised and run by a guest-organizer.
