FUTURESEX
An interdisciplinary project based at the University of Surrey
What are the futures of sex, gender and sexuality? How were futures imagined in the past?
FUTURESEX seeks to explore these questions in collaborative, interdisciplinary ways, opening up conversations across academic, activist and community boundaries.
We are deliberately queer, trans-inclusive, affirmative, and aim to provide accessible events which platform, speak to, and represent a wide range of marginalised experiences.
