The aim of this conference is to serve as a forum for developing and
discussing papers that IFjP hopes to publish. These can be on the
conference theme*or on any other feminist IR-related questions.*
*Call for papers*
Feminists taught us that the personal is political. International
Relations feminists taught us that the personal is international. And
contemporary Queer Scholars are teaching us that the international is
queer. While sometimes considered in isolation, these insights are
connected in complex and sometimes contradictory ways. This conference
seeks to bring together scholars and practitioners to critically
consider the limits and possibilities of thinking, doing, and being in
relation to various assemblages composed of queer(s), international(s),
and feminism(s).
Questions we hope to consider include: Who or what is/are (im)possibly
queer, (im)possibly international, (im)possibly feminist, separately and
in combination? What makes assemblages of queer(s), international(s)
and feminism(s) possible or impossible? Are such assemblages desirable
-- for whom and for what reasons? What might these assemblages make
possible or impossible, especially for the theory and practice of global
politics?
We are interested in papers and panels that explore these questions
through theoretical and/or practical perspectives, be they
interdisciplinary or located within the discipline of International
Relations.
Sub-themes include (Im)Possibly Queer/International/Feminist:
-- Heteronormativities/Homonormativities/Homonationalisms
-- Embodiments/Occupations/Economies/Circulations
-- Temporalities/'Successes'/'Failures'
-- Emotions/Desires/Psycho-socialities
-- Technologies/Methodologies/Knowledges/Epistemologies
-- Spaces/Places/Borders/(Trans)positionings
-- States/Sovereignties/Subjectivities
-- Crossings/Migrations/Trans(gressions)
-- (In)Securities
We invite submissions for individual papers or pre-constituted panels on
any topic pertaining to the conference theme and sub-themes*. We also
welcome papers and panels that consider any other feminist IR-related
questions.*
Any inquiries should be addressed to the conference coordinator, Joanna
Wood, at *[log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]>*
Abstracts should be no more than 250 words.
Deadline for submissions: *January 31, 2013*
We will, however, confirm acceptance of submissions before the deadline
if we receive abstracts early. Early submission is therefore recommended.
Please submit your abstract here: *Submissions*
