Those who identify as queer often experience a complicated sense of (dis)belonging\u2014not only when navigating heteronormative social structures that privilege heterosexuality and cisgender identities, but also within queer communities and spaces themselves. By emphasizing queer (dis)belonging, we wish to interrogate the politics of inclusion and exclusion both within and beyond queer spaces, inviting research that critically examines how queer people negotiate their identities within: i) social structures such as political systems, class hierarchies, nation states, kinship networks, and religious institutions; and ii) technologies such as AI, social media, and digital communication.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-b038eb550210a10c3248178de91f090f\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lavlang32.ppls.ed.ac.uk\/?page_id=2\">Keynote Lectures<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:78px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-small-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thedoctorlane.com\/\">Dr. Nikki Lane<\/a> (Duke University)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-small-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/kevinguyan.com\/\">Dr. Kevin Guyan<\/a> (the University of Edinburgh, Business)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-small-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/erezlevon.com\/\">Prof. Erez Levon<\/a> (Universit\u00e4t Bern)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-small-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.acg.edu\/faculty\/stamatina-katsiveli\/\">Dr. Stamatina Katsiveli<\/a> (The American College of Greece)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-small-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mxeddie.github.io\/\">Dr. Eddie Ungless<\/a> (the University of Edinburgh, Informatics)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/lavlang32.ppls.ed.ac.uk\/?page_id=231\" style=\"background-color:#b16cc4\">Call for papers: closed<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2-4 September 2026: Queer (dis)belonging<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"templates\/template-full-width.php","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-8","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lavlang32.ppls.ed.ac.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lavlang32.ppls.ed.ac.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lavlang32.ppls.ed.ac.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lavlang32.ppls.ed.ac.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lavlang32.ppls.ed.ac.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8"}],"version-history":[{"count":40,"href":"https:\/\/lavlang32.ppls.ed.ac.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":386,"href":"https:\/\/lavlang32.ppls.ed.ac.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8\/revisions\/386"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lavlang32.ppls.ed.ac.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
