This year’s Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies colloquium aims to recognize the power of personal experience and its place in the academy: not as a supplement to theory, but rather as a mode of theorizing in its own right.
Inspired in part by the work of keynote speaker Dr. Bettina Judd, assistant professor of Gender, Women and Sexuality Studies at the University of Washington, our goal is to bridge the gap between the so-called personal and the academic. Art, poetry, and personal narrative exist alongside other research methods as ways to understand the world. This year’s colloquium explores and expresses feminist epistemologies that value this diversity of expression and inquiry.
The colloquium will center these systems of knowing within academia, taking seriously the knowledge, feelings, and histories of peoples and professions that too often have been pushed to the sidelines.
Proposals may focus on art, poetry, music, and other modes of reflective expression.
