In a world marked by rupture, polarization, and resistance, Beyond
Fracture invites us to explore how moments of divergence—social,
linguistic, aesthetic, political—can give rise not only to conflict
but also to reinvention. At the same time, it calls us to consider the
forces of convergence that bind and reconfigure, often in surprising
or uneasy ways. Between fracture and fusion lies the space of
possibility: for solidarity, for creativity, and for futures that move
beyond protest and toward transformation.
Rather than remain tethered to opposition alone, this theme urges us
to look beyond the “anti-”: beyond anti-colonialism, anti-capitalism,
anti-patriarchy, anti-heteronormativity, anti-ethnonationalism,
anti-spiritualism—not to erase resistance, but to ask what comes
after. How do we imagine post-revolutionary societies? What new
epistemologies, forms, and structures emerge when we embrace both
divergence and convergence not as endpoints, but as generative
processes? LINC 2026 invites undergraduate and graduate students,
artists, researchers, and educators to consider how the fractures and
entanglements of our time open critical paths for reimagining
identities, relationships, systems, and knowledge. The conference
seeks contributions that interrogate division and dissent, while also
embracing construction, coalition, and creativity across disciplines
through collaborative panels that explore how our societies move
beyond resistance to forge new paths.
We welcome individual presentations, performances, creative works, and
collaborative interdisciplinary panels that critically engage with the
interplay of divergence and convergence as it relates to:
 - Division and solidarity
 - Resistance and reconstruction
 - Marginality and coalition
 - Epistemological rupture and renewal
 - Identity, language, embodiment, and future-making
LINC 2026 continues to foster daring, interdisciplinary, and socially
engaged graduate work. We especially encourage proposals that
collaborate across fields including, but not limited to, Literature
and Environmental Studies, Linguistics and Music, Religion and
Politics, Neuroscience and Art, or Gender Studies and Philosophy.
