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 ([log in to unmask]) putting in
the subject-line of your email: 'PG conference
submission'. The paper presentations should not exceed
20 minutes and should be submitted to the discussant
and panel participants one week before the conference.
