  \n\nDescription: \nThis conference brings together the historical study o
 f early modernity and asexuality studies as an interdisciplinary academic 
 discipline.Asexuality studies is a thriving academic discipline, which is
  invested in understanding how compulsory sexuality organizes society, na
 turalizing performances of sexual attraction and denigrating or exoticizin
 g sexual indifference or repulsion. By bringing together the study of earl
 y modernity and the academic field of asexuality studies, this three-day 
 conference will be the first major academic event to seriously investigate
  what it means to do asexual history. Fifteen contributors to the forthcom
 ing co-edited collection Early Modern Asexualities will present papers tha
 t think through desexualizations and disability, race and colonialism, q
 ueer histories, asexual reading, and the long histories of compulsory se
 xuality. Other events will include an asexual pedagogy roundtable, and a 
 roundtable highlighting local research into historical asexualities.\nSpea
