Program of International Meeting against Homophobia organized 12th times this year is announced. Socialist activist, author and International Socialist Review’s editor Sherry Wolf and socialist, gay activist and author Peter Drucker will be international guests of the meeting focusing on the theme of “Queer Politics of Labor”.

In the scope of the meeting, academicians dismissed by Statutory Decrees and students indirectly affected by the decrees will gather together as well.
The main program of the meeting will take place during 13-14-15th of May, and it will end with concert of Jakuzi on 17th of May the International Day against Homophobia. During the Meeting there will be simultaneous translation.
The forums during 13-14-15th of May will take place in TÜMBELSEN Conference Hall (Sümer 2 Street. Number: 29/7 Floor:4 Çankaya/Ankara); on 14th of May the theater play 80’lerde Lubunya Olmak will take place in Neva Palas Hotel; and the Jakuzi concert on 17th of May will take place in METU Vişnelik.
The call for proposal:
“During the event where we plan to link the labor/ work/ effort concepts with queer discussions; that is, within the labor discussions we would like to approach queer experience and politics as a starting point instead of just being footnotes.
“Obviously, it is a so radical to take economic developmet out from the capitalist subjectivity. However, we exactly think that it is possible in the resources of Queer politics where sexual morphology is reconsidered, and that Queer politics can offer a productive inconsistency ground towards breaking precisely the perfection of this subjectivity, and the consistency and harmony of the global commodification narrative.
“During the event where the discussions on the studies towards the combination of Queer theory and labor theories, agencies towards bringing the theories/ practices of the activist together under a Marxist perspective, and the positions/status of queer individuals in the current class configurations are planned to be made. It will also be focused on the last period of Turkey and we will try to find solution suggestion”
