Call for submissions (sexual theory!)

WSSA Colloquium – Gender, Sexuality and Culture

Call for submissions
Deadline: Fri, Feb 18

Submit an abstract (150-200 words) regarding the work you would like to present as well as your name and your department to wssa.concordia@gmail.com. It’s a great occasion to share your work with other students, professors, research associates and fellows, as well as generate discussion around culture, gender and sexuality.

The colloquium itself will be held March 8 from 1 to 6pm. If you are not available for the duration of the colloquium but would still like to present your work, we will attempt to accommodate your schedule. PS, it’s for International Women’s Day.
