| Gender, Bodies & Technology: (Dis)Integrating Frames, Roanoke, Virginia | Proposals are invited for our second, biannual interdisciplinary conference: "Gender, Bodies & Technology: (Dis)Integrating Frames”
Proposal Deadline: September 15, 2011
We invite proposals from scholars in the humanities, social and natural sciences, visual and performing arts, engineering and technology for papers, panels, new media art and performance pieces that explore the intersections of gender, bodies and technology in contexts ranging from classrooms to workplaces to the internet. In keeping with the conference theme, we are asking contributors to include specific reference to the ways in which their own particular disciplinary frameworks shape their approach to their sites of research.
Our confirmed keynote speakers include:
Dr. Judith Halberstam Professor of English, American Studies and Ethnicity, and Gender Studies, University of Southern California
Dr. Judy Wajcman Head of Department of Sociology, London School of Economics & Political Science
As an assemblage of people and technologies we see the conference itself as enacting the conference theme. We welcome innovative uses of technology and creative session formats, including performance and interactive presentations, as well as traditional paper presentations. We are committed to the integration of scholarship from the Arts as well as more traditional forms of scholarship and we welcome early contact by email if space and/or technology requirements might present logistical challenges.
Proposals will be reviewed and notification of the outcome will be made by October 15, 2011. We are pursuing publication outlets for selected papers from the conference. Final drafts of papers received before April 26, 2012 will be eligible for consideration. The Gender, Bodies & Technology website, online submission form, as well as the full program from the 2010 conference can be viewed at: http://www.cpe.vt.edu/gbt/

| Blue Engine | Blue Engine Blue Engine is an education nonprofit founded by Northwestern graduate Nick Ehrmann. Blue Engine advances academic achievement and equity in high-need New York City high schools through a full-time tutoring corps (like Teach for America, but with tutors). We are currently recruiting 12 Blue Engine Fellows to dedicate a year of service as those tutors. Blue Engine is an urban education fellowship year in New York City for talented recent college graduates to connect with small numbers of students in a different way—not as teachers, but as full-time academic tutors. During one-year terms of service, teams of Blue Engine Fellows provide massive amounts of small group direct instruction to entire grade levels, all day, every day. By channeling thousands of direct service hours to address one of our nation’s most pressing educational imperatives, we are proud to join the national movement dedicated to expanding educational opportunity in America. posted April 2010 |
