UCLA CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF WOMEN announces:
THINKING GENDER 2012
22nd Annual Graduate Student Research Conference
Call for papers
Thinking Gender is a public conference highlighting graduate student research on
women, gender and/or sexuality across all disciplines and historical periods. We
invite submissions for individual papers or pre-constituted panels on any topic
pertaining to women, gender, and/or sexuality. This year, we especially welcome
feminist research on: gender roles in relation to marriage, parenting, or being
single; critiques of biosciences and biotechnology as they pertain to fertility,
sanitation, and/or medical experimentation at a local, national or global level;
mobility as duress or success--for example, in relation to migration,
immigration, or upward or downward economic mobility; life stage issues, such as
aging and girls’ studies; and feminist storytelling or research in modes such as
oral histories, graphic novels, theater, comedy or other inventive expressions.
CSW accepts submissions for both individual papers and pre-constituted panels
from all active graduate students. In order to give everyone an opportunity to
present, we do not accept submissions from people who presented at Thinking
Gender in the previous year. Also no previously published material is eligible.
Students proposing individual papers are to submit an abstract (250 words), a CV
(2 pages maximum), and a brief bibliography (3-5 sources), for consideration. For
panels, a 250-word description of the panel topic is required, in addition to the
materials that must be provided for individual paper submissions. For a more
detailed description of submission guidelines, please visit:
