CANCELED: Call for Papers for SIGH Conference due by March 20, 2020

The Sexuality Intersectionality Graduate Hangout (SIGH) 2020 conference theme, “Conflict, Consequences, and Beyond: An Interdisciplinary Conference on Systems of Violence and Feminist Resistance” seeks to cultivate a dialogue on the theoretical understanding of violence, historical and contemporary acts of violence, the dissemination of violence in national and transnational spaces, and the politics/poetics of resistance. Therefore, we invite participants from all (inter)disciplinary backgrounds to critically examine the rhetorics of violence, and furthermore, to think beyond such rhetorics—to imagine new and liberatory ways of living.

This conference is open to scholars and general interest researchers of all levels. Submissions should include an abstract of up to 250 words and be sent to [email protected] by March 13, 2020. Participants will be notified about the status of their proposal by March 20, 2020. Presenters of papers and creative projects should aim for a 15-minute presentation, while workshops and poster presentations should aim for a 30 to 45-minute presentation. Poster presentations should be produced in a 48” by 36” format. View poster.
