"Love, sexuality, and intimacy in exile" is the theme of the 2025 annual conference of the Austrian Society for Exile Research (öge), held from 23 to 25 November in cooperation with the Austrian Exile Library at the Literaturhaus, Qwien, and the Department of Sociology at the University of Vienna.

Keynote speech by Anna Hájková (Warwick) on 24 November, 19:00 at Literaturhaus Wien, Zieglergasse 26A.
