Diaspora, Descent and Dissent
Conference organized by the Transnational and Transcultural Multicampus Research Group
April 5, 2002
UCLA
Deadline for submission of abstracts: January 21, 2002
Theme:
Questions of home, community, allegiance, and identity become more urgent
and contentious in moments of political crisis. In the wake of September
11, these issues -- which have persistently haunted the work of
postcolonial and ethnic studies scholars and artists -- have taken central
stage in popular culture and academic debate. We invite submissions of
one-page abstracts to discuss these and related issues in the context of
popular culture, literature, visual arts, and performance.
Submit a one page abstract for a 20 minute (7-10 page) presentation by January 21 either electronically to mrgucla@hotmail.com or in hard copy to:
