SUMMARY:International Graduate Student Conference: Borders\, Power and Transgression
DESCRIPTION:A border is what separates things\, and the border’s very existence is inseparable both from the power that sustains it and from the possibility of its transgression. In recent years\, the relationship between borders—political\, geographical and symbolic—and State power has taken on a special significance in the public arena. Transgression\, for its part\, is an ambivalent term\, as it may encompass very different ideas—from resistance against oppression to the erosion of institutions on behalf of authoritarianism or corporate profit. Analyzing borders and power must take this ambivalence into account.\n\nIn this conference graduate students from the US and the world will discuss borders as a broad and fluid concept\, encompassing not only geographical or political boundaries\, but also questions like gender\, race\, ethnicity\, discursive practices\, and more broadly\, notions like limit\, frontier\, division and critique. There will be contributions from a variety of disciplines in the social sciences\, the humanities and the arts. \n\nRegister to attend this conference and the keynote talks here. \n  \n\n\n\n\nPROGRAM\n\n\nKEYNOTE GUESTS\n\n\nPANEL ABSTRACTS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKeynotes \nApril 7\, 3:00PM to 4:30PM (PST)\nConversation with historian Christine Hünefeldt: Crafting Borders?\nWith the participation of: Marlene Torres-Magaña and Emma Zamora Garcia.\nCHRISTINE HUNEFELDT\nProfessor Emeritus\, History\, University of California San Diego\n\nApril 8\, 1:30PM to 3:00PM (PST)\nBorder Thinking & Living la Vida Fronteriza (the Border Life)\nMELISSA WRIGHT\nProfessor\, Geography\,  Pennsylvania State University\n\nApril 9\, 2:00PM to 3:30PM (PST)\nAssessing the Damage: Reflections on the Trump Administration’s Dismantling of the U.S. Asylum System\nKAI MEDEIROS\, J.D.\nStaff Attorney\, American Bar Association\, Immigration Justice Project\, San Diego

SUMMARY:Haunting the Canon: The Super-phenomena in Art
DESCRIPTION:LAIS is pleased to co-sponsor the Art History Graduate Student Association’s 45th annual symposium! \nThis virtual symposium is an opportunity for students and scholars across the humanities to engage in a critical dialogue while maintaining a focus on images and material objects. This year’s theme asks participants to challenge colonialist conceptions of mystical\, spiritual\, and alchemical subjects. We are honored to host Associate Professor of English at Fordham University Robb Hernández as our keynote speaker. His revisionist scholarship concerning alternative Latinx archives\, AIDS\, and speculative aesthetics will be of great interest to many scholars in our community. \nMore details coming soon…
