2025 Mini-Conference

We are pleased to announce that the IARR mini-conference on “Gender, Sexuality, and Relationships,” will be held at Brunel University London (Uxbridge, UK – within the London borough of Hillingdon, and 5 miles from Heathrow Airport) from Thursday, July 31 to Sunday, August 3. The Gender, Sexuality, and Relationships theme group within Brunel’s Centre for Culture and Evolution will be responsible for programming the event. We will hold a New Scholars Workshop (to be planned in coordination with the IARR Mentoring Committee) as a Pre-Conference for the first day (Thursday, July 31). Keynote speakers will include David Schmitt (formerly at Brunel, now located at Kansas State University), Ashley Randall (Arizona State University), and Rozzana Sánchez Aragón (National Autonomous University of Mexico). We will provide further details after the IARR main conference!

2026 Main Conference

Ceud Mìle Fàilte (A Hundred Thousand Welcomes). The IARR 2026 Main Conference will be held Thursday, July 30 to Monday, August 3 in Glasgow, Scotland! The city of Glasgow is just four hours by train from London and a major airline hub served by three international airports. Gateway to the Scottish Highlands and less than an hour by train from Edinburgh, Glasgow is a highly desirable destination for those wishing to tour parts of Scotland prior to or after the conference. Equally important, Glasgow itself boasts a rich architectural heritage, award-winning (and free!) museums, and a vibrant arts and cultural scene (e.g., it is home to the Scottish Opera, the Scottish Ballet, and the National Theatre of Scotland). The conference will be held in the Technology and Innovation Centre at the University of Strathclyde. The University of Strathclyde is a 10-minute walk from major rail stations and just five minutes from City Hall, shopping at Merchant City, and numerous restaurants and accommodation options amenable to all budgets.
