Outside/rs 2022 is a conference for postgraduate researchers, early career researchers and community parties, that provides a space to explore topics of sex, gender and queerness at the margins. The conference will be a hybrid of in-person, at the University of Brighton, and online sessions.

- New technologies for LGBTQ people: reproductive, non-reproductive and more
- (Auto- )Biographies and ethnographies within and beyond the gender binary
- Queer subjectivities, intersubjectivities and phenomenologies
