UCLA CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF WOMEN announces THINKING GENDER 2014

24th 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, including future ones. 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: privacy, diversity, and/or demographics in the
age of big data; appetites (pleasure, food, electronics); gender,
sexuality, and the new brain sciences (cognitive sciences,
psychobiology); the perils of “post-feminism” (feminism backlash,
hypo/hypersexualities, redefining feminist activism); gender, sex, and
criminality; pleasure and ethics (media and advertising, sexuality);
gendered spaces (spatial theories, urban planning, domesticity); and
self-staging in public discourse (reality TV, user forums,
“selfies”/self-narration and “autographies”).


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 a cover page
(provided on our website), an abstract (250 words), a CV (2 pages
maximum), and a brief bibliography (3-5 sources), for consideration.
All components are to
be delivered in one document and labeled according to the submission
guidelines found on the CSW website. 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.

Please visit our website for submission guidelines:

Send submissions to: thinkinggender at women.ucla.edu

Deadline for submissions: Monday, October 14

Conference is to be held on Friday, February 7, 2014, at the UCLA
Faculty Center.

Event is free and open to the public, but please be aware that there
will be a $35 registration fee for presenters, which will cover the
cost of conference materials and lunch at the Faculty Center.
