Furry Studies 2024 Conference

Held at Nieuwe Instituut (Rotterdam, the Netherlands) on 18 November 2024, in association with the Otterdam Furry Arts Festival


Furry Studies 2024. Nieuwe Instituut. Rotterdam / Online. 18th October.

This conference, the first of its kind, aims to bring together a wide range of scholars and enthusiasts from art, design, cultural studies, human-computer interaction, games, history, psychology, sociology, and among other areas. In doing so, this conference is the first step to formalising a field of ‘furry studies’ that explores and examines this creative community. This conference marks the beginning of legitimising the field as a valid site for contemporary research, and to promote global and cross-field collaboration among furry scholars and those invested in this community.  

Organising committee:

  • Xavier Ho (Spaxe)
  • Reuben Mount (Vanguard Husky)
  • Tom Geller (Jack Newhorse)
