NGENDER Graduate Seminars, University of Sussex, Spring – Summer 2011
------------------------------------------------------------------------
CALL FOR PAPERS
NGender is an interdisciplinary seminar series on gender-related issues.
After the success of last year's vibrant seminars, we now call interest
for participation in the series which will run between January and June
of the 2010-11 academic year.
NGender is organized by doctoral students and aims to bring together
researchers/faculty/early career researchers from widely divergent fields.
We hope that by bringing together scholars from diverse schools we will
create new opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration and methods
of inquiry.
There are approximately 100 DPhil students across Sussex who work in
gender related projects. This shows that Sussex is still leading the field
in gender scholarship. It also indicates the need for a sense of community
amongst research students. Ngender aims to function as a networking event
for doctoral students and provide a space where they can present their
work-in-progress and get feedback from peers and faculty.
In addition to providing an opportunity to receive feedback, the seminars
aim at enriching the way we think and speak about research today. It hopes
to enable participants investigate, evaluate and connect with current
trends and new developments in scholarship and research.
Seminars will take place every Tuesday 1-2pm and include a 20-minute
presentation followed by discussion and questions.
We invite proposals from researchers working in the following themes
(indicative list):
Affect
Art History
Development
Digital technologies
Embodiment
Feminisms
Geographies
Media and Cultural Production
Postcolonialism
Political Economy
Power and Politics

Please send your proposal (300 words) for a 20 minute presentation and a
biography (including name, degree, year and research interests) by 10
December 2010.
