The Queen’s University Department of Sociology invites paper proposals for
SGSA Annual Interconnections Conference: In/Between
Rose Innovation Hub (Mitchell Hall – Queen’s University, Kingston ON)
March 27 2020
The Queen’s University Sociology Graduate Student Association (SGSA) invites researchers to consider the in/between. With this theme, we seek to provide a space for researchers to critically examine classification, categorization, and the experiences of being caught in and between these processes. This theme also brings attention to those who transcend categories, and those at the margins. We especially encourage work that seeks to mobilize research for social empowerment.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
· Media, Information, & Surveillance
· Criminology, Policing, and Law
· Social Justice, Power, and Resistance
· Feminism, Queer Theory, & Intersectionality
· Critical Race and Indigenous Studies
We especially encourage research and papers in progress that focus on indigenous and/or queer studies. We also welcome participants considering alternative presentation formats for scholarly and artistic projects. Teleconferencing options for presenting will also be available upon request.
Participants will be able to receive feedback from faculty and peers – this is an excellent professional development opportunity in a supportive environment.
All graduate students and upper-year undergraduates are invited to submit and/or attend! Whether you have a project that is completed or is a work-in-progress, we encourage you to submit a project title, 250 word abstract, any technology requests, and contact information in a word document.
Please email your submission to sgsa.conference@gmail.com by February 24 2020.
