Queer(ing) Crisis is an interdisciplinary graduate conference inviting discussion around question of global, economic, political, legal and other forms of crisis through a queer lens.The conference will be a forum to bring together different disciplines and to provide a space for exploring the multiple perspectives concerning queer crises. The conference also seeks to build solidarity, establish alliances, and to cultivate an intellectual community amongst those working in critical sexuality studies.
The planning committee for the Queer(ing) Crisis conference qelcomes submissions and statements of interests for traditional papers, as well as alternative proposals such as artistic and performative interventions to be presented at the 2012 conference.
We encourage contributions that provide queer interventions on the intersection of crisis, possibilities and;
- conflict, security, and militarization
- space, place, temporalities, and scales
- governance, regulation, and law
- identities, subjectivities, and bodies
- finance, debt/value, and marketization
- labour, consumption, and globalization
- intersectionality, race, class, (dis)abilities, genders and sexualities.
- academy, education, and queer methodologies/pedagogies
- queer mobilizations and community engagement
(this is by no means an exhaustive list, only a suggested one)
