CALL FOR PAPERS
A Conference on:
Gendered Violence: Epistemologies and Practices
March 30-31, 2001
3rd Annual Graduate Student Conference
Women's Studies Program
University of Kentucky
Lexington, Kentucky, USA
In recent years researchers working with feminist theories have examined a
diversity of instances and types of gendered violence occurring across the
globe. This research has enhanced our understandings of myriad ways in
which gendered violence occurs within different cultural milieus. Our
graduate student-organized conference provides a space for students,
activists and faculty to discuss ongoing research and community projects
related to the conference theme in a supportive and innovative environment.
We invite submission of 250-word abstract proposals for special sessions,
paper presentations, panels, and performances that address the
epistemologies and practices of gendered violence.
The theme of our conference is intentionally broad to encourage a diversity
of topics, which may include, but not be limited, to:
activism and gendered violence
gender assignments as violence
fantasy and gendered violence
violent media
nationalism and gendered violence
poverty as gendered violence
sexualities and gendered violence
postcolonialism and gendered violence
discourses and representations
space, place and gendered violence
gendered violence, commodities and capitalism
technology and gendered violence
