Call for Papers Theme: Translating Across Boundaries Type: Critical Juncture Conference 2019 Institution: Emory University Location: Atlanta, GA (USA) Date: 5.–6.2019 Deadline: 19.12.2018 __________________________________________________ Emory's Critical Juncture conference is now accepting paper proposals for our sixth annual conference, happening at Emory University in Atlanta, GA on April 5-6, 2019. Critical Juncture is an interdisciplinary, graduate student-run conference that convenes each year to explore the cross-cutting intersections of race, gender, and disability. Critical Juncture 2019: Translating Across Boundaries will be a space to struggle with the question:how do we communicate with people different than us? Differences are constructed barriers which prevent access to information and the validation of different ways of knowing. We are particularly interested in the ways in which individuals working in specific disciplines or from specific positions of knowledge engage with other intersectional communities and/or convey their insights to those beyond their tribe. These differences can include, but are not limited to: - Between intellectual camps and across disciplinary boundaries - Within and without the academy - Questions of translation (broadly defined) - Language production itself (including biologically, psycholinguistically, or socially) As these topics are by no means mutually exclusive, we also welcome contributors who overlap issues. We also welcome contributions which bring these issues into conversation with disability, race, gender, sexuality, social class, ageism, geographic determinism, etc. This year's Critical Juncture keynote speaker will be Dr. Teresa Blankmeyer Burke of Gallaudet University. We encourage a diverse assemblage of participants — ranging from academic scholars of all disciplines, to artists, activists and non-profit professionals — to share how they communicate their work and ideas with others from different communities, disciplines, or spaces of situated knowledge. Such presentations may include scholars’ work in the translational sciences, humanities or media studies scholars bridging academia and public writing or media (or bridging different branches of disciplinary knowledge), clinicians bringing theoretical concepts into their everyday practice, or science activists who seek to work in closer concert with marginalized communities. Interested individuals may submit either content or process papers: Content papers: Discussions focusing on research findings, theoretical arguments, clinical best practices, and mechanistic accounts of communication across boundaries. Please submit a 150-word abstract and include “CONTENT PAPER” in the email header. Process papers: Discussions focusing on one’s experience of doing translational work in a situated context. These can be personal reflections, advice from the field, or meta-analyses, to name a few. Please submit a 250-word reflection on the translational process you intend to discuss and include “PROCESS PAPER” in the email header. Deadline: December 19, 2018 Further questions and proposed abstracts may be emailed to: criticaljunctureconfere...@gmail.com Conference website: https://criticaljunctureconference.wordpress.com __________________________________________________ InterPhil List Administration: https://interphil.polylog.org InterPhil List Archive: https://www.mail-archive.com/interphil@list.polylog.org/ __________________________________________________
