Re-Imagining Power
The 2nd Annual Brandeis University English Graduate Conference

Plenary Speakers:
Caren Irr, Brandeis University
Leah Price, Harvard University

Call for Papers
Power demands intellectual debate, engagement and intervention in fields
as diverse as literary studies, visual culture, performance studies,
political theory and cultural studies.  Contemporary critical
assessments of power continuously re-imagine the modes of
representation, construction and production possible within different
hegemonic forms.  This conference will broaden the spectrum of critical
inquiry by exploring new and competing ways of perceiving power.
