This event invites participants to imagine alternate sexual futures. It aims to envision the content of utopian/dystopian sexual futures, reflect on the ways in which we engaged in this discussion with one another, and to think about the ways we might continue to engage with such topics in the future.
Game Show Hosts:
- Lara Karaian is an Associate Professor at the Institute of Criminology and Criminal Justice at Carleton University. Karaian’s research cuts across issues such as the legal regulation of sex work, gender and sexuality, queer and transgender legal theory, critical race theory, and law and morality. She is currently working on projects that examine the power of feminism in law and explore a positive theory of pleasure and sexuality in law.
- Ummni Khan is an Associate Professor in the Department of Law and Legal Studies at Carleton University. Her research interests focus on the ways in which sexuality, gender, and the racialized body are overlapping and constructed, policed, and put into discourse in law and society. She is particularly interested in the socio-legal construction of sexual deviancy, the intersections of emotion and the law, transgendered subjects, and pop cultural representations of law. She has published numerous articles on these subjects, as well as a book on S&M in the socio-legal imaginary.
