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.
