The Department of Gender Studies in cooperation with the Experimental Humanities Collaborative Network (EHCN) and the Romani Studies Program at Central European University invite you to join us for our first Vienna-based conference on June 19-20, 2023.
TRANSforming Research: Feminist, Experimental, and Arts-Based Practices
The conference brings together scholars, artists, and activists who are engaged in TRANSforming research. Through lectures, performances, discussions, praxis-based workshops, musicality, and posters, the conference encourages participants to re-imagine our institutional space differently and proposes ways of queering formal research practices.
The conference is free of cost and we welcome any and all attendees either in-person or online. For in-person attendance, we kindly ask you to register in advance (by June 18, 23:59, Central European Time) here. A link is available to access the sessions online here.
The focus of the conference is to set conditions for the encounter of different strands of feminist, experimental, and arts-based research practices so that we can collectively re-imagine the spaces of academic conferences and the limits of what feminist research can encompass.
The conference is organized around the idea of three intersecting and overlapping pathways – TRANSitioning, TRANSing, and TRANSforming – and how these work in concert to shape new and experimental practices across academic traditions and disciplines. We aim to center new feminist theoretical approaches and strands, including transfeminism and research related to transness and trans bodies.
