Call for Papers!

**Deadline – 20th January 2023**

I am organising a two-hour panel around the topic area of intersectional (in)equality in heavy metal subculture for the 2023 Talking Bodies Conference (12th-16th June). The conference is organised by the Institute of Gender Studies, University of Chester, UK.

I am looking for three speakers to deliver a 20-min (max) paper each on a subject relating to the chosen topic area and overall theme of the conference. Following the papers there will be a group discussion with the aim of gathering suggestions on how to improve the representation of different bodies in metal subculture.

Any questions feel free to get in touch with me, and please email your abstract (max 500-words) by Friday the 20th January 2023: 1500443@chester.ac.uk
