The University of Kentucky English Graduate Student Organization (EGSO) proudly invites abstracts and proposals for its annual spring Symposium, which will take place on February 28-29, 2020. Specifically, we invite reflection on how our critical, creative, and pedagogical work navigates, challenges, and complicates the tension between noise and silence.
We welcome graduate projects that take creative, interdisciplinary, and experimental approaches and forms. Submissions may explore aspects of this theme as manifested across disciplines and in any medium, historical and cultural context, and geographical location. Papers may draw on but are not limited to critical theory, cultural studies, disability studies, feminist theory, film and visual studies, media and communication studies, postcolonial studies, psychoanalysis, and queer theory.
Please submit your abstracts/proposals by Wednesday, January 15, 2020 using this Google form. Please email Dasha Goncharova at
daria.goncharova@uky.edu if you have any questions.
