The Sexuality Network brings together scholars who study the history of human sexuality in its countless varieties.

Since its foundation in 1998, the Sexuality network is Europe's only recurrent international platform for the presentation of new work in the field. The network is interested in contributions from around the world and across time. For the 2025 conference in Leiden, it is especially (though by no means exclusively) encouraging contributions that focus on Southeast Europe and the Black Sea Region, on trans and intersex histories, and on the early modern period.
