MANCEPT / MANCEPT Workshops / List of Panels (A-Z) 2022 / Equality in Intimate Life

Equality in Intimate Life

Luke Brunning and Natasha McKeever

University Place 6.206 (hybrid) 

Intimate life and politics are connected closely, and this workshop seeks to explore their interrelationships. We hope to build on two successful workshops held at MANCEPT over the previous two years.

Broadly, we hope to try to understand and/or ameliorate an aspect of intimate life as shaped by the state and other social institutions. In recent years, much work has charted the different forms intimate life can take, and argued for a greater acceptance of diverse sexual practices and experiments in living. Often, people will suggest that any form of intimate life is acceptable as long as people relate as equals. But the connections between the growing literature on political egalitarianism – understood in terms of resource or relation – and intimate life are underexplored and ripe for analysis.
