项目摘要

This transnational initiative seeks to transform an informal network between scholars and practitioners that is currently at an early stage into a formal, active and productive international network. The network aims to connect academic researchers and civil society experts working on the interplay of sexuality, race and religion to further understanding of this area. The network members will therefore be able to exchange knowledge and form collaborations to work on common and transnational aspects of their work. This will be facilitated through opportunities provided by the Network including one face to face and three additional virtual meetings, as well as via electronic means including an interactive website (a private members area for discussion) and a moderated e-list. The network members will share expertise from their specific localities to extend the mapping of local and transnational instances of exclusion based on sexuality, race and religion that coincide with formations of nationalism. In doing so it will develop the state of the art in relation to understanding the ways in which relations between changing notions of gender and sexual identities, racism and nationalism in different national and cultural contexts can operate. The Network Project will document this work and in particular successful strategies that have been employed in responding to such events by publishing papers presented at the International workshop to be held at Oxford Brookes in July 2012 in an edited collection (Routledge, 2013), as well as within a co-authored journal article and a 25-page jargon free report aimed at practioners working in relevant social policy fields. The network's website will act as a key networking tool where participants can share their local experiences, communicate research ideas, make comments and obtain feedback on each other's work, develop joint research proposals, and discuss differences and convergences across local contexts. It is therefore an important means by which to facilitate effective and meaningful knowledge exchange between academics (including early career scholars) from a wide range of disciplines, and civil society actors including lawyers and other local practitioners working on these issues.The project will also enable already initiated collaborative work to be strengthened through one face to face workshop to be hosted at Oxford Brookes University in July 2012, as well as through a series of virtual meetings (for example, using skype). The virtual meetings will work towards the face to face meeting examining a number of specific issues and topics. These will include how to sustain and strengthen transnational collaboration with a plurality of civil society actors and academics. We will also facilitate a conversation between civil society actors working in the Global South to discuss a number of issues including the impact of organisations located in the Global North on their work. Another theme will be how to respond to the emergence of far right organisations in European contexts (for example, the English Defence League in the UK) and their impact on civil society actors working in the field of sexuality, race and religion and multiple exclusions. These discussions will also be published in the Network's edited collection. In addition, the networks developed through the workshop and meetings will be sustained and supported through the updated website which will also feature a directory of academics and civil society actors who are members of the network. This will be an important resource for policy makers and the wider public globally to be able to easily locate and access different researchers and civil society actors working in the field of sexuality, race and religion. This transnational network is unique in bringing together constituent members working on these issues.

这一跨国举措旨在将目前处于早期阶段的学者和从业人员之间的非正式网络转变为正式、积极和富有成效的国际网络。该网络旨在将从事性、种族和宗教相互作用研究的学术研究人员和民间社会专家联系起来，以进一步了解这一领域。因此，网络成员将能够交流知识，形成合作，就其工作的共同和跨国方面开展工作。将通过网络提供的机会，包括一次面对面会议和另外三次虚拟会议，以及通过电子手段，包括一个互动网站（供成员讨论的私人区域）和一个有主持人的电子名单，促进这一点。该网络成员将分享其具体地方的专门知识，以扩大对与民族主义形成相吻合的基于性、种族和宗教的地方和跨国排斥情况的绘图。在这样做的过程中，它将发展与理解不同国家和文化背景下不断变化的性别和性身份观念、种族主义和民族主义之间的关系的方式有关的最新技术。该网络项目将记录这项工作，特别是在应对此类事件中采用的成功战略，出版将于2012年7月在牛津布鲁克斯举行的国际讲习班上提交的论文，并编辑成册（Scholledge，2013年），以及在一篇共同撰写的期刊文章和一份25页的无行话报告中，针对在相关社会政策领域工作的从业人员。该网络的网站将作为一个关键的联网工具，参与者可以在其中分享当地经验，交流研究想法，就彼此的工作发表评论和获得反馈，制定联合研究提案，并讨论各地的差异和趋同。因此，这是促进学术界之间进行有效和有意义的知识交流的重要途径（包括早期的职业学者）从广泛的学科，该项目还将通过2012年7月在牛津布鲁克斯大学主办的一次面对面讲习班，加强已经启动的合作工作，以及通过一系列虚拟会议（例如，使用skype）。虚拟会议将逐步发展为面对面会议，审查一些具体问题和专题。其中包括如何维持和加强与众多民间社会行为者和学术界的跨国合作。我们还将促进在全球南方工作的民间社会行为者之间的对话，讨论一些问题，包括位于全球北方的组织对其工作的影响。另一个主题将是如何应对欧洲背景下极右组织的出现（例如，英国的英国国防联盟）及其对在性，种族和宗教领域工作的民间社会行为者的影响。这些讨论也将在该网络编辑的文集中发表。此外，通过讲习班和会议建立的网络将通过更新的网站得到维持和支持，该网站还将提供网络成员学术界和民间社会行为者名录。这将是全球决策者和广大公众的一个重要资源，使他们能够方便地找到和接触在性、种族和宗教领域工作的不同研究人员和民间社会行为者。这一跨国网络的独特之处在于，它将致力于解决这些问题的成员聚集在一起。
