Interdisciplinary Graduate Colloquium: Call for Papers

Consider submitting a paper for the next meeting of the Interdisciplinary Graduate Colloquia series, to be held Friday, April 4 on the topic "The Body." Abstracts are due by Tuesday, March 25 to intergradcolloquium@gmail.com . Colloquia are an informal way to present new or developing research and receive feedback from peers in a variety of disciplines. Plus, there will be wine and cheese!

The body may rightly be understood as the center of cultural, ethical, and aesthetic discourses, contributing explicitly and implicitly to our constructs of race, economy, law, desire, nationhood, textuality, and language. How do bodies and/or their materiality figure into these discourses? How can we “flesh out” the body and the texts that theorize or engage with it? How do bodies interact with each other and the world? How do they interact with that which is internal, that is with some kind of notion of spirit or soul?
