2012 Black Graduate Student Association Conference & Call for Abstracts

Northwestern's Black Graduate Student Association (BGSA) presents "Engaging Multiple Publics: Envisioning Our Work as Holistic Scholarship." Join BGSA for our 16th annual conference, hosted at the Hilton Garden Inn in Evanston. This year's theme, "Engaging Multiple Publics" is a space for scholars from the humanities, natural and social sciences, business, law and medical sectors to critically engage with issues as variant as social justice, environmental law, identity performance, and biochemical discoveries in order to move towards a sustainable engagement with our work in the world. We posit that by challenging each other, strategizing, and co-witnessing our attempts to bridge our multiple worlds, communities, and publics, we might in fact save the future of our scholarship, each other, and ourselves. We invite work from any discipline that productively responds to the theme of the conference. Our invited keynote speaker is Professor Rebecca Wanzo, Washington University in St. Louis. Call for Abstracts Deadline March 1st. Registration is FREE! Registration RSVP: www.northwestern16thannualbgsaconference.eventbrite.com
