The North Carolina State Association of English Graduate Students has issued a call for papers for their graduate student conference in the humanities, to be held February 22-23, 2013 at Tompkins Hall in Raleigh, NC. The conference, "I Live Here: Redefining and Negotiating Notions of Public and Private," is broadly interested in the tenuous boundaries between public and private spheres.
From the CFP:
With the current election season in full force, debates over social, economic, and political issues seem to increasingly reflect a tension between the public/private binary, and the ongoing conflict that results when the personal becomes political. Scholars are encouraged to explore how their own research and interests in English & Humanities makes a significant contribution to our understanding of this binary, be it in its current iteration, the historical development, or a diachronic snapshot of another cultural moment.
We welcome submissions that re-frame existing and emerging research to interrogate the significance of the debate over public and private, as well as those that make strides toward understanding how our research might provide insight into our own current moment.
Broad topics include: the historical development of the public/private distinction; the changing boundaries in digital spaces; the relationship between the public/private distinction and literature, language, and film; the implications of the public/private debate for identity politics in general and/or specific populations.
Abstracts of 300 words are due by November 15, 2012. For more information visit the UPenn CFP post or email aegs.conference@gmail.com.
