Thinking Gender - The NEXT Generation
National Postgraduate Conference in Gender Studies
June 21-22 2006, University of Leeds, UK
The internationally recognised Centre for Interdisciplinary Gender
Studies invites proposals for a two-day trans- and interdisciplinary
postgraduate conference to be convened at the University of Leeds 21-22
June 2006.
The conference will provide an opportunity for postgraduate students to
share critical discussion, dialogue and reflections on recent, present
and future research and to learn from each other's approaches and
experiences in an informal and collegial environment. The conference is
aimed at anyone whose work relates to Gender Studies and aims to explore
cutting edge methodologies, theoretical approaches, and practical
applications as well as to engage in the reconstitution and examination
of concepts in feminist and queer theories. We are especially interested
in work that explores the multi-dimensionality of gender studies. The
conference will also provide opportunities for generic skills training.
Keynote speakers will include Sasha Roseneil (Leeds University),
Gabrielle Griffin (Hull University) and a roundtable on "Embodied
Aesthetics of Gender" with Ruth Holliday, Shirley Tate, Rachel Cowgill
and Brendan Gough (Leeds University).
The conference will run seminars for postgraduate students on
presentation skills, chairing panels, and getting published. We invite
papers or panels in any area relating to gender studies using a variety
of methodological approaches from different disciplines. Themes/areas
may include sexuality, queer theory, body, family, relationships, social
policy, activism and social movements, policing sexuality/gendered
identities, pleasures, subjectivities, intersectionalities, desire,
space, race, class, ethnicities and religion, national identities,
fragmented identities, globalisation, development, diaspora, subaltern
studies, popular culture, media, sport, music, medicine/health,
education, work, literature, representations, history, (sub)cultures of
resistance, combat or violence.
Please send abstracts of 100-150 words to CIGS by March 31, 2006
