The University of California, Riverside's annual (dis)junctions graduate
conference is extending the deadline for submissions from 2/10/06 to 
2/28/06.

Graduate students of the University of California, Riverside, are 
seeking papers
for their 13th annual humanities conference, (dis)junctions. We are 
interested
in papers on nearly any topic, and this year we are particularly 
interested in
papers that span more than one discipline between the humanities and social
sciences. Some sample topic include
- studies of the intersection of art and literature
- single-author studies - how have individual critics (Foucault, Derrida,
Althusser, Lacan) been influencial across disciplines? How does theory 
change as
it moves from one discipline to another?
- defining the discipline - papers that deal with the borders of a 
discipline
(example: where does "postcolonial theory" stop and "minority discourses"
begin?) what are the advantages and disadvantages of the methods by which we
divide our disciplines?
- studies of space-time from a humanities perspective
- the effects of the debate over Darwinism and Intelligent design from
multi-disciplinary perspectives
- responses to Hurrican Katrina from sociological, psychological, 
historical,
scientific, rhetorical, and cultural studies perspectives
-pedagogy: teaching in response to Hurricane Katrina, teaching in the
multi-lingual classroom, teaching against traditional disciplines
-We are, of course, also interested in traditional genre and period-related
papers. (dis)junctions is a large conference, spanning a number of 
themes - all
topics are welcome!

Please email abstracts (250-300 words) to disjunctions@gmail.com. Also, 
please
note any A/V needs you may have - we can obtain VCRs, DVDs, and 
projectors for
laptops. Less standard equipment possible (although not guaranteed) upon
request.
