This colloquium examines how and why segregation has been used as a tool for constructing and policing gender boundaries, at the intersection with race, age, status, class, functionality, ethnicity, religion, sexuality, nationality and other historical ideas of human identity and categorization. Segregation is the physical, cultural, or legal separation of groups on the basis of self- or external demarcations of difference and can be observed in many different human societies of the past. This colloquium discusses segregation across time and space as both a framework of control through imposing binary and as an individual coping mechanism and a strategy of subversion.
