Meeting Description:

The official theme for the 2021 WIGS Conference is “Crossing Thresholds”. As a
part of this conference, a special call for papers is being issued for a panel
of papers that will specifically explore the issues of diversity and
inclusivity as they relate to German Studies. Papers accepted for presentation
should be ca. 20 minutes in length and may be pre-recorded.


Call for Papers: 

Suggested topics include, but are by no means limited to, the following: 
 - Institutional/career thresholds that narrow the breadth of research and
researchers in German Studies;
 - Classroom thresholds that restrict the appeal and relevance of German
Studies to a wider, more inclusive, and diverse segment of the student
population.
 - Canon thresholds that limit the breadth of German Studies curricula.
 - Publishing thresholds that privilege publications in conservative journals
that traditionally reject innovative work outside of the norms of the
traditional German Studies canon. 
 - Organisational thresholds that discourage greater neurodiversity and the
welcoming of differently abled students, faculty, and staff.  
 - Informational thresholds that deny students and faculty the opportunity to
effectively network.
 - Threshold guardianship that discourages diversity and inclusion in German
Studies through toxic mentorship and insensitive guidance that function as
gatekeeping.
 - Resource thresholds that deny equal access and greater freedom to build
cooperative, mutually-beneficial, action-oriented initiatives between
academics in German Studies and the surrounding community. 

All papers which critically examine the issues of diversity and inclusion in
theory and/or practice are welcome.  However, priority will be given to
submissions that focus on the specific challenges faced in Higher Education by
individuals and institutions when implementing diversity and inclusion
frameworks. Importantly, proposals should not only focus upon identifying
problem areas, but also on offering concrete solutions for promoting
inclusivity and diversity within German Studies, academia, and the society as
a whole.  Proposals may be in either German or English.  Contributions from
persons not affiliated with an academic institution such as independent
researchers, authors, publishers, community leaders, and artists are very much
welcome.

Proposals (300 max, excluding refs) should be sent to Dr. Nick
(mavi.yaz at web.de) with WIGS2021 in the subject line. Proposals should include
an abstract, title, and ref. list. Deadline for submission is April 11, 2021.
