Dear all, Just a reminder that the deadline for the CfP for the 2nd annual CREN conference is this *Friday 18th June. *The conference, on 21st October 2016 at The University of Sheffield (UK), will be looking at how and why related inequalities and oppressions seem to have fragmented and disconnected interventions in academic and/or activist work. How heartbreaking to have, in Orlando, yet another violent occurrence that has caused pause for thought of the consequences of thinking about anti-blackness, Islamophobia and Queerphobia as disconnected oppressions. Oppression anywhere is oppression everywhere. We welcome academic papers as well as artistic/creative work and presentations. Abstracts could also be about an individual presentation or a panel/workshop. Final panels will be confirmed when the event goes live, but just to highlight the following themes that have been suggested or submitted in addition to those in the original CfP, in the event that you would like to add voice to any of them: -digital blackness -food politics -toilet politics -Art in/as/against anti-racist feminist research/activism -anti-racism and mental health -anti-racist feminism and animal ethics -gendered and racialized inequalities and oppressions in Higher Education Should you have other ideas within the theme, please do go ahead and submit.
