“…We have tried to counteror to at least acknowledgethese histories with our choice of keynote speakers, one of whose papers opens this collection. These steps are a recognition of the ongoing coloniality of knowledge production, that is given institutional form in global academic hierarchies, publishing practices, funding networks and providers and immigration regimes that make physical border crossings in pursuit of academic collaboration much easier for those located 'here' rather than 'there' (Fletcher et al, 2017;Russell, 2019;Naqvi and Russell, 2020). Challenging, or even dismantling, the binary of Here versus There demands that we look far beyond sex and gender (although as Spivak (2010) and many others have shown, sex and gender are vital to how we understand geo-and biopolitical hierarchies).…”

This special issue explores the simplification of common narratives that have developed in the wake of changing sexual and gender politics in the early part of the 21st Century into binarised narratives of a ‘here’ where sexual politics are ‘sorted’ and a ‘there’ which must ‘catch up’. In this introduction, we reflect on the challenges of attending to the historical, material, political and legal forces that give ‘here’ and ‘there’ geopolitical, discursive and geographic coherence, and discuss how the papers in the special issue explore, challenge and contest the dynamics that underpin the construction of ‘Here versus There’.
