The UCLA Center for the Study of Women|Barbra Streisand Center invites proposals for our 36th annual Thinking Gender Graduate Student Research Conference (TG26).
This year’s conference theme, “Feminist and Queer Ecologies,” explores how ecologies and environments are shaped, understood, and struggled for in relation to sex, gender, and sexuality. It simultaneously considers how scholarly and other observations and theorizations of ecological and environmental processes have yielded insights for feminist and queer theory, practice, and organizing.

Understanding feminist and queer ecologies requires multidisciplinary inquiry and collaboration, as well as engagement with disciplinary formations. This theme calls for gathering environmental scientists, humanities scholars and social scientists, artists and other creators, and other thinkers and organizers. It opens up methodological examination and experimentation with scientific methods, storytelling, ethnography, place-based knowledge production, natural and environmental history, political theory, ecological and economic modeling, and other ways of knowing and truth-telling. It invites feminist and queer collaborations across disciplines and ways of knowing, species, space, and time.

We welcome a range of submission formats from graduate students, including scholarly papers, works in hybrid critical/creative genres (e.g., multimedia projects, performance, experimental forms of academic writing), place-based engagements, and film/mixed media.
