CALL FOR PAPERS

Deadline for Proposals: 15 February 2006

-We had the experience but missed the meaning.-
T. S. Eliot, Four Quartets (1941)

Experience is defined as a - direct participation or observation of events -
which results in a production of knowledge. This experience can be 
encountered
by an individual, community or nation.1

In this regard, postgraduate students Vasuki Shanmuganathan and Claire
Harnett-Mann from Interdisciplinary Gender Studies at the University of
Birmingham are organising, 25 - 26 May 2006 in the Learning Centre UG05, a
conference for postgraduate students of humanities and social sciences 
on issues
relating to the study of gender. Titled Genderful Experiences, in 
reference to
the interacting dynamics of identity and experience, we invite 
submissions of
theoretical and practical applications that consider our positions as 
multiply
producible subjects. We are especially interested in proposals whose 
scope is
transnational and/or transgendered and those that consider gender in 
relation to
the importance of interdisciplinary study.

Please send a 150-200 word proposal to
genderfulexperiences_at_yahoo.co.uk by 15 February 2006. Individual 
papers or
panel groups are welcome. Final papers must be 20 minutes long or 8-10 
pages,
double-spaced. Should you have any questions or comments, please feel 
free to
e-mail us. We look forward to hearing your paper at the conference!
