CFP: #QueerAF: (Re)presenting Gender & Sexuality
in History and Cultural Studies
#QueerAF: (Re)presenting Gender & Sexuality in History & Cultural Studies
5th Annual Dean Hopper NEW SCHOLARS Conference
5-6 May 2017
The Ehinger Center, Drew University, Madison, NJ
#QueerAF is a hashtag used on Twitter and Tumblr by trans, lesbian, gay, bisexual, androgynous and gender fluid users to celebrate content that is unapologetically queer, or “queer as fuck.” The use of “AF” in the title of this conference indicates our interest in exploring the power of language to form community in a digital space through the assignation of #QueerAF. The invocation of slurs such as queer, dyke, homo, slut, bitch, and tranny degrades individuals, and those same words have been subsequently reclaimed, yet not without deep controversy. Establishing a conference that is “#QueerAF” represents our resistance to societal politeness by participating in the reclamation of “queer” and disrupting the heteronormative discourse that terms certain behaviors and bodies dangerous or degenerate.
The conference theme draws on multiple disciplines and perspectives on gender and sexuality, inviting challenges to the heteronormative, cisgender, patriarchal discourse of history. Proposals are invited for papers on any aspect of Gender & Sexuality across all time periods and geographical locations. In particular, this conference will be centering around three major themes: Historical & Cultural studies, Linguistics & Theory, and Activism & Media.

Steven Dashiell (Cohort 16) has recently published a blog entry titled
“Resolving the Study of Geek, or What to Do When You Become “That Brony Researcher”” In the article, Steven explains how he has been able to identify and work with his dissertation topic. He mentions how “thinking strategically” from an early stage, an idea instilled by his LLC advisor, opens the path to doctoral students to engage with research and to identify themes that will become crucial in their dissertation.
This is a very good read that we want to share with our LLC community. Thank you Steven!
