quickanddirty VII: The DC Queer Studies Graduate Symposium
Part of the 4th Annual DC Queer Studies Symposium at the University of Maryland, College Park
Friday, April 29, 2011
Deadline for submission of materials: February 1, 2011
DC Queer Studies invites submission of proposals for 15-minute presentations in quickanddirty VII: The DC Queer Studies Graduate Symposium. Students enrolled in any DC-area graduate program are encouraged to submit proposals for inclusion in the symposium. We welcome proposals on any aspect of LGBT Studies, queer theory, critical approaches to genders and sexualities, and intersectionality. The University of Maryland's program in LGBT Studies has held a graduate symposium for the past six years. Again this year, that event is being opened up to students from other institutions and held in conjunction with the scholarly program being arranged by DC Queer Studies, a group of faculty from schools in the Consortium of Universities of the Washington Metropolitan Area.
Selected participants will be notified by February 15, 2011.
Proposals must include name, affiliation, e-mail address, title of paper, a 250-word abstract, and a 1-2 page CV. Please send materials by e-mail attachment (Word or PDF only) by February 1, 2011 to lgbts-dcqueers@umd.edu. Put “quickanddirty” in the subject line of your message.
The DC Queer Studies Symposium is a daylong event bringing together scholars from
the Washington, DC area to exchange, support, and cultivate new ways of engaging with
LGBT/Q/Sexuality Studies across the disciplines. April 29 will include the graduate
symposium, a cultural event, and the keynote address by Regina Kunzel, professor of
history and chair of gender, women, and sexuality studies at the University of Minnesota. Kunzel is the author, most recently, of Criminal Intimacy: Prison and the Uneven History of Modern American Sexuality, which won numerous awards, including the John Boswell Prize for outstanding book on LGBT history and a Lambda Literary Award for LGBT Studies, both in 2009.
The DC Queer Studies Symposium is hosted and sponsored by the University of Maryland and co-sponsored by American University, the George Washington University, and Georgetown University.
