We invite applications for this conference of workshops from junior and senior scholars whose research directly addresses one of the following three sub-themes: 1) Sexuality, Love and Social Theory; 2) Power and Politics: A Feminist View; and 3) Common and Conflicted: Rethinking Interest, Solidarity, and Action.<\/p>\n


\nConference Workshop Format<\/p>\n

The conference will begin on Thursday afternoon (22 May 2008) with three keynote addresses from leading scholars in the field. Friday and Saturday (23-24 May 2008) will be full days of workshop meetings. A final plenary will be held on Sunday morning (25 May 2008), where summaries of major research and discussion themes will be presented.<\/p>\n

Workshops are designed to be a forum for discussion of research in progress precisely related to the conference sub-themes and to facilitate collaboration among junior and senior scholars. Each sub-theme will have 10 participants from several institutions, lasting 2 days. Only those scholars currently working in the workshop’s field will be accepted to participate.<\/p>\n

The workshop format is intended to enhance participation in a collegial atmosphere. Each participant (10 per sub-theme) presents a paper or research document for discussion, and takes part in the discussion of the other sub-theme papers presented. In addition, each sub-theme participant will be assigned the role of formal discussant on one paper all sub-theme participants will participate in open discussion in their group. Each sub-theme will be assigned a coordinator, whose tasks will include maintaining the group’s schedule of presentation, summarizing research and discussion themes and presenting these summaries at the closing plenary.<\/p>\n

We expect these workshops to lead to publications, as well as to continued collaboration between members.<\/p>\n
