Philippine Queer Studies Conference

The pioneering conference on q***r studies and LGBTQI issues in the Philippines

📣 ICYMI | INVITATION FOR SUBMISSION

The Review of Women’s Studies (RWS), a refereed journal published by the University of the Philippines Center for Women’s and Gender Studies (UPCWGS), invites submissions for a special issue on q***r studies in the Philippines.

Co-edited by John Andrew G. Evangelista and Jose Antonio R. Clemente, this special issue is dedicated to publishing papers and creative work presented during the 2024 and 2026 Philippine Q***r Studies Conference. During these conferences, our conversations revolved around the intersection between q***r theorizing and practice. We seek to translate these jubilant and critical conversations into the pages of this special issue.

If you missed the email about this invitation, kindly email [email protected] to get more detailed information about the invitation and submission process.

📌 Submission deadline: October 15, 2026

Conversion practices are harmful acts that violate dignity, ethics, and human rights. They will never be a form of therapy.

The Psychological Association of the Philippines, through the PAP LGBT Psychology SIG, stands firmly against any attempt to “correct” or suppress LGBTQ+ identities. Being LGBTQ+ is not a mental disorder or moral failure.

As mental health professionals, our role is to provide affirmative, ethical, and evidence‑based care that protects wellbeing and upholds human dignity. 🌈💜

Day 1 at the 2026 Philippine Q***r Studies Conference 💫
Grateful for everyone who showed up, shared, and made space for each other.

🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️Join us as we open the 2026 Philippine Q***r Studies Conference with a dialogue that holds space for rigor and tenderness, friction and flow, and the many ways we move together.

“Face-to-Face, Heart-to-Heart: Conversation on Mobilities, Methodologies, and Movements” brings together two voices from different generations of q***r work and thought to reflect on protest, care, joy, fatigue, resistance, and repair. Together, they will explore how movements are shaped not only through strategy and critique, but also through relationships, lived experience, and the everyday work of surviving and imagining otherwise.

See you at the 2026 PQSC!

📸 For the first time, the Philippine Q***r Studies Conference will feature a photo exhibit: “Memories of Movements.”

This photography exhibit gathers images of q***r life, organizing, survival, care, and connection across the Philippines. From Pride marches and protests to friendships, chosen family, and everyday acts of resistance, the exhibit honors the many ways q***r histories are lived, remembered, and shared.

This exhibit is curated by Prof. Eloi Hernandez of the UP Department of Art Studies.

Visit the exhibit from 24 to 26 April 2026 at the Lobby of the UP School of Statistics, with the exhibit launch happening on 24 April 2026 at 3:00 PM. RSVP via bit.ly/MemoriesOfMovementsRSVP

How do LGBTQIA+ couples in the Philippines navigate love, family, property, and healthcare rights in a legal system that still does not formally recognize same-sex partnerships?

Join “Rights of LGBTQIA+ Couples in the Philippine Legal Framework: Book Launch and Legal Toolkit Distribution,” one of the featured events of the 2026 Philippine Q***r Studies Conference. 📚⚖️

Hosted by the UP College of Law Gender Law and Policy Program, this session marks the pre-launch of a new monograph and companion legal toolkit designed to help LGBTQIA+ couples better understand and secure rights related to property, healthcare, and family matters.

The program will also bring together legal experts, academics, and community members for an important conversation on legal gaps, the lived experiences of LGBTQIA+ families, and the ongoing struggle for equality and reform.

What does it mean to care for movements, and for the people sustaining them?

📣 PQSC 2026 is proud to feature “Caring for Advocates: An Experiential Expressive Arts Session,” facilitated by the Ateneo De Manila University Gender Hub.

The Ateneo Gender Hub will use movement, visual arts, and music to create a space for rest, reflection, creativity, and connection among advocates. No artistic background is needed — only your presence and openness.

Because sustaining movements also means sustaining the people behind them through rest, reflection, and mutual care. 🌈
