Flyer on a deep purple background with a row of orange and pink geometric shapes across the top: clusters of orange circles, a pink four-lobed shape, and a pink four-pointed star. Text reads: "Thinking Gender 2027, Call for Proposals. 'Power and Care in Gendered Migrations.' 37th Annual Graduate Student Research Conference. April 29–30, 2027." Left column: "How are immigrant communities experiencing today's immigration enforcement in gendered ways? From detention and deportation to the everyday care that sustains families living in fear, this conference examines how the state produces gendered precarity, and how communities and engaged researchers respond. We invite graduate students and post-doctoral scholars in the humanities, social sciences, and the arts to share work that informs theory, shapes policy, and empowers communities. Feminist and queer, cross-disciplinary collaborations are especially welcome." Right column, "Questions to Consider": How does attention to care shift our understanding of immigrant agency and power? What can feminist and queer lenses teach us about resisting immigration enforcement? What does ethical, engaged research with immigrant communities require, and how do scholars care for themselves while doing it? Orange footer: A QR code, followed by "Apply Online: csw.ucla.edu/events/thinkinggender" and "Submission deadline: Sunday, October 25, 2026, 11:59 pm PDT." Under "Who Can Apply?": "Graduate students and post-doctoral scholars from any institution." Logos for UCLA College Social Sciences, the Center for the Study of Women (CSW), and the Barbra Streisand Center.
