June 19-June 22, 2014 ALLIED MEDIA CONFERENCE

The Allied Media Conference cultivates strategies for a more just and creative world. We come together to share tools and tactics for transforming our communities through media-based organizing. The conference will be held from Thursday, June 19 to Sunday, June 22, 2014.The conference schedule overview can be seen here. Thursday, June 19 is reserved for pre-conference Network Gatherings and special strategy sessions. The conference will begin at 8:00 a.m. on Friday, June 20 and continues through Sunday evening, June 22.

AMC Mission
The Allied Media Conference is a collaborative laboratory of media-based organizing strategies for transforming our world, held every Summer in Detroit.

CREATE: At the AMC, we understand media as any way in which we communicate with the world, from zines to breakdancing, to designing neighborhood-based communications infrastructure. We share and create media that exposes, investigates, heals, builds confidence and radical hope, incites dialogue and debate. We demystify technology, not only learning how to use it, but how to design and build our own.  In doing so, we redefine technology’s role and impact in our lives. The AMC creates learning environments for all ages and skill levels, including hands-on workshops, strategy sessions, presentations and performances.

CONNECT: The AMC is a network of networks – social justice organizers, community technologists, transformative artists, educators, entrepreneurs, and many others -- all using media in innovative ways. Some of these networks sprout from the conference, grow over the course of the year then reconvene in Detroit larger and healthier. Others use the AMC as an annual point of convergence and a space to forge new relationships. Through cycles of participatory investigation and experimentation, our networks continue to grow, generating new theories and practices of media-based organizing.

TRANSFORM: As our networks grow, so does our capacity to take collective actions to transform our world. At the AMC, we develop new leaders and new forms of leadership, design new methods of problem-solving, cultivate the visions of our communities and build our power to make those visions real.

We seek dissertation scholars and advanced candidates for the MFA whose work critically engages the terms of our theme, Campus War Machine: Sex and Debt. We are especially interested in candidates who would contribute to the diversity of the campus.

Theme
In 2014-15, the Fisher Center considers the ways gender figures into the wars being waged on, by, or in the name of higher education. There is a growing discourse in the U.S. and globally on the systems of inequality that underpin the educational system. Debt bondage, the casualization of academic labor, the proliferation of rape culture, DOD funded research, the privatization of public education, the subsumption of educational practices to the dictates of market-driven technological innovations, the inability for many youth to attend school in war-torn societies, and the repression of student protests are all features of the low and high-intensity wars being waged on college campuses. At the same time, title IX sexual assault suits, organized resistance to corporate and government surveillance, progressive research in the sciences and humanities, and academic boycotts suggest that campuses are fighting back. What are the invisible ways that college campuses produce and transmit material, financial, environmental, gendered, and psychological violences? Conversely, how does the campus, as a site for radical thought, activism, and change, disrupt these violences?

Historical research on the role of the slave trade in funding major universities, as well as the role of universities in reproducing a specific ruling class, attends to the legacy of education as an apparatus of power. The collaboration between universities and large corporate firms, financial institutions, military–research projects, pharmaceutical, bio-tech, and energy companies fuels the war machines and profit–making industries of today’s global powers. How does this impact funding and research across disciplines and how does that shape curriculum? The educational system is also a “home” for students, educators and community members. The struggles they face are structured by systems of sexism, ableism, classism, ageism, racism, colonial settler systems and ideologies, militarization, capitalist scripts, gendered violence, geopolitics, and the globalization of neoliberalism. How might we learn from past struggles that took the university as a primary site, from groups such as the Students for a Democratic Society or campaigns such as those targeting apartheid and sweatshop labor? What gains have been made in more recent decades as queer theorists and politics have challenged suppositions of sex, gender, and embodiment? And in what ways has new work on prisons, policing, and surveillance drawn out not just the structural parallels between prisons and universities but their fundamentally antagonistic positioning as two sides of the capitalist state’s coin?

In light of these shifting gendered campus battlegrounds, how are radical feminists, activists, artists, scientists, and academic scholars taking on these competing inequalities? What are historical and contemporary examples of pedagogical techniques that provide a framework for creating educational spaces that are free of political inequalities? We seek to create a highly interdisciplinary research group of scholars and artists who will engage these questions in creative ways as we explore these gendered campus battlegrounds and global precarities of educational opportunity.

Fellowship
The fellowship offers an opportunity to gain experience teaching in private liberal arts institutions while completing thesis work, and carries a stipend of $35,000.00. Fellows will teach one course per semester related to their research area, attend Fisher Center lectures and meetings, present one colloquium, and conduct some administrative duties associated with the Visiting Scholars program. Additionally, the Pre-Doctoral Fellow will receive a $4,000 research stipend through her/his participation as a member of the Fisher Center Research Fellows Group. This group is comprised of interdisciplinary scholars who meet regularly to discuss the Fisher Center Research Theme: Campus War Machine: Sex and Debt. Pre-Doctoral candidates nearing completion of the dissertation and MFA candidates who have completed their coursework and beginning work on their thesis must submit a one-page description of scholarship, a short statement on teaching interests, up-to-date curriculum vitae, three letters of reference, and a writing sample (e.g., chapter of dissertation), and, for MFA candidates, a supplemental video or portfolio if relevant. Screening of applications will begin on March 28, 2014 and will continue until the position is filled. Completed applications should be sent to: Cadence Whittier, Director, The Fisher Center for the Study of Women and Men, Hobart and William Smith Colleges, Geneva, NY 14456. Email inquiries may be sent to whittier@hws.edu. Information about the Fisher Center can be found on our website.

Hobart and William Smith Colleges are committed to attracting and supporting faculty and staff that fully represent the racial, ethnic, and cultural diversity of the nation and actively seek applications from under-represented groups. The Colleges do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, marital status, national origin, age, disability, veteran's status, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression or any other protected status. HWS Colleges are a highly selective residential liberal arts institution located in a small, diverse city in the Finger Lakes region of New York State. With an enrollment of approximately 2,200, the Colleges offer 62 majors and minors from which students choose two areas of concentration, one of which must be an interdisciplinary program. Creative and extensive programs of international study and public service are also at the core of the Colleges’ mission.

This is the first annual LLC Graduate Student Conference and will be held at UMBC.

Join us as we explore the potential meanings and practical implications of “intellectual activism,” which, as a political praxis of knowledge production, validation, and distribution, can take many different forms. By focusing on the notion of “intellectual activism,” the conference aims to open a critical discursive space to question and re-imagine the role of the university in maintaining and/or disrupting the systems and operations of power within and through which the institution functions.

Please use this link to register by March 15th. The finalized conference program can be seen here.

You do not need any prior expertise on the legislative issue we will be advocating for—the training materials will provide all the information needed. The meetings with Capitol Hill staff will provide an opportunity to learn how to engage in federal advocacy, regardless of your area of expertise.  The training will include coverage of the most effective advocacy techniques as well as interactive role-playing exercises in preparation for the Hill visits.
 
There is no cost for this event.  Travel support is available for a small number of students. You can attend without registering for the APA convention; the two are not related. The advocacy training event is being paid for ($100 per person) by two divisions of the American Psychological Association and so to quality the students would need to be members of either the community psychology or the social psychology divisions.

If you would be interested in attending, please contact Ken Maton (maton@umbc.edu) from the SCRA Policy Committee and answer the following questions answer the following questions:

1.Would you be interested in attending the training (choose one):  
Definitely
Likely
Possibly
Depends on the advocacy issue of focus
 
2.What poverty-related policy issues are you interested in?  This information will help us focus our efforts for what policy issues will be covered during Advocacy Day.
