The Centre for the Study of Sexual Dissidence
The The Centre for the Study of Sexual Dissidence at Sussex draws together existing work, and promotes new work, on texts and issues in lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, transsexual and transgender studies, and on their intersections with imperatives of race, gender and class. The emphasis is upon representations in literature, the media and other cultural modes, both historically and in the present. The overall goals are an exchange of ideas and a broadening and deepening of research -aspirations that are apparent in both the teaching and the research fostered by the Centre.
