Deadline for Abstract/Film Submission: March 15, 2010
The University of Chicago Minority Graduate Student Association invites you to participate in the Seventeenth Annual "Eyes on the Mosaic" Graduate Student Conference to be held on Saturday May 8, 2010. This conference is designed for graduate students to present current work that draws on race as an analytical framework and/or understands race as a primary organizing factor in the social world. As a whole the conference will provide a platform for research that examines the ways in we should think about race in literature, film, art, recorded histories, public policy, legal and medical knowledge, immigration, interracial interactions, and other day-to-day experiences. As race is not a category that people experience in isolation, proposal submissions can also examine how race intersects with other constructs like gender, class, sexuality, nationality, and religion. Moreover, we encourage submissions that examine race through a trans-disciplinary lens, acknowledging that the study of race/racialization is a process that can be analyzed from various academic disciplines and points-of-view.
