Engendering Change is an annual interdisciplinary graduate student-led conference that provides a venue through which graduate students can share their scholarship on gender and sexualities with one another and get feedback from faculty based in the Chicago area.

In addition to the above noted topics, graduate students are encouraged to submit papers that bring intersectional theory in conversation with gender and sexuality studies, reflect on the state and future of intersectionality in gender and sexualities studies, and consider innovative methodological strategies for studying these intersections.

To submit an abstract, please complete the online submission form available at engenderingchangeconference.wordpress.com/cfp/submit-an-abstract. The submission form will ask for an extended abstract with a minimum of 350 words as well as keywords.

Harpur Palate, a biannual literary journal published by graduate students at Binghamton University, has recently begun a Reviews section on its blog, and has issued a subsequent call for submissions. Harpur Palate is now looking for quality reviews of books (or chapbooks) of fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction.

Review Guidelines: Harpur Palate welcomes unsolicited, previously unpublished reviews for the web review section of its blog. Reviews may be on recently published short story collections, novels, poetry full-lengths, or poetry chapbooks by emerging or established writers. In terms of length, brevity (2,000 words or less) is optimal, but they will consider reviews up to 5,000-words. The review should merit its length. They will consider reviews written in any style, from the more objective to the unabashedly subjective and narrative. They only ask that reviewers support their conclusions with contextualized text from the work being reviewed. Please avoid plot summaries that don’t illustrate important ideas.

Accepted reviews will be published on Harpur Palate’s blog, noted in the Harpur Palate journal, and promoted on Harpur Palate’s Facebook page.

Submit a review with a brief cover letter via our Submittable page. Simultaneous submissions are acceptable.

The Department of Comparative Literature at the University of Michigan has issued a call for papers for Comparative Literature Intra-Student Faculty Forum (CLIFF)
 a graduate student conference. The conference, titled “X is Political” will be held on Thursday, March 28th and Friday, March 29th 2013

 at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. There will be a Keynote Address by Professor Chantal Mouffe
 of University of Westminster

.

CLIFF describes the topic of their conference as follows:

X Is Political. For X, read elections, race, class, gender, identity, economics, war, the body, the personal, sex, clothes, teaching, food, culture, nature, the exhibition you saw yesterday and this CFP you are reading today. Stop looking, there’s no way out: everything is political.

The by-now well established habit in academic and activist circles of expanding the political to include just about anything has been productive and most often emancipatory, enabling us to consider articulations of difference as grounds for struggle and self-assertion rather than abnormality. Still, critical space must be made to pause and reflect on where that politicizing impetus comes from, who it benefits at whose expense, what problems it solves, and what problems it creates.

As literary and cultural critics, we wish to consider “X Is Political” itself as a political statement that does not only describe, but also does things. What do we mean when we say that X is political? What are we trying to achieve? Are we reclaiming control over X? Are we trying to dignify X? Do we risk turning the
political into a potentially normative and narrowing framework? Can it be emancipatory to deny that X is political? What becomes of X when it is made political? What becomes of politics when it encounters X?

Since the political as a category is extended to everything, papers might engage with these questions from any number of frameworks, including but not limited to: literature, race studies, gender and sexuality, social sciences, political science, post-colonial studies, law, philosophy, history. This list is meant to
inspire engaging work, rather than exhausting all possible topics.

Paper proposals of at least 1,000 words should be sent by November 30th, 2012 to cliffconference2013@gmail.com. Presenters will be notified by January 15, 2013.
