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!

These are their responses.


Name: Maniraj Jeyaraju

Hometown: Ellicott City, MD

Major: Interdisciplinary Studies

Q: How long have you been at UMBC?

A:  It's my fourth year at UMBC.


Q: What is your current title (job or student organization position)?

A:   I am a URA Scholar, Grand Challenge Scholar, and Spark Committee Leader.


Q: In 12 words or less, what role(s) do you play on campus? 

A:  Researcher, Student Advocate, Student Representative for INDS Program, and a civic agent
Q: What aspect of your UMBC role(s) do you enjoy most?

A:  A common theme among my roles is the capacity to learn from new environments. Whether in the classroom, during research, or in the real world, I enjoy learning from others, even if their perspectives conflict with my own. Moreover, the ability to make change and to innovate inspire me, as I am constantly looking for a better model. 
Q: What is the most important or memorable thing you learned in college/have learned at UMBC?

A:    This is a great place to diversify your interests; become a sponge and absorb information that excites you. Though we all have career goals, I have been surprised at the countless number of occasions I have learned about myself and career path from people outside of my interests. A light bulb moment is often one conversation away with someone whom you have never met. 


Q: What is one way you have worked with others to make a positive difference at UMBC or in another community?

A:   I have been deeply involved with the Interdisciplinary Studies Program and served as a past president of the INDS Council of Majors. In the past couple of years, I led student events and built a partnership with the Delrey School in Halethorpe. 

In my last year, I set my sights to a macro-goal of Spark, an initiative to engage student organizations in interdisciplinary community service projects. I am working with amazing colleagues, Ella Hawkins and Stanley Wang, to coordinate this effort. We are building relationships with Baltimore nonprofits, and we hope to empower both the UMBC and Baltimore communities through this project. If you're interested, contact me :)

Q: Complete this sentence: "I am a big fan of __________"

A: Tough questions; innovation; meeting new people; interdisciplinarity; ancient poetry
Q: Do you have any UMBC stories, little-known facts about UMBC, favorite spots on campus, or anything else you’d like to share?

A: I definitely recommend taking the hidden elevator on the second floor of the library to the basement. They have some pretty cool stuff down there!

Conference Theme
Re-Imagining Multicultural Education in Changing Times

In these times of change locally and globally those who advocate for and work toward greater equity and social justice in education must strengthen their resolve to act on behalf of students. We are forced to ask what is the role of Multicultural Education and its educators in times of great challenge? The 27th Annual International Conference of the National Association for Multicultural Education (NAME) will provide a forum for practitioners, researchers, community activists, and policymakers to engage in dialogue, share research, and offer workable solutions to the issues we face in education. It is vital for everyone to participate in this important work in K-12 schools, universities, communities and every space where learning occurs to ensure that we build a better world where all children can thrive. The NAME 2017 conference, in Salt Lake City provides an opportunity for thought provoking exchange, renewed vision and taking action on issues affecting all aspects of diversity and social inequities experienced by students in their learning contexts. We remain hopeful, inspired, and engaged as we recommit ourselves to the cause of justice and equity in education and society at large.
