would be grateful if you could share this information with any graduate

   - Care and Repair: 2024 UC Graduate Student Virtual Conference

*Care and Repair: 2024 UC Graduate Student Virtual Conference*
*Call for Proposals*

The UC Riverside Center for Ideas and Society invites proposals for a
virtual conference that explores UCHRI’s 2023-24 programming theme, Care
and Repair.

Hosted on February 16, 2024, the conference will gather University of
California graduate students in the humanities or humanistic social
sciences or arts to illuminate the myriad ways of tending, mending and
imagining new worlds and ways of being that arise from – and transform –
current crises into new possibilities. Different epistemological,
aesthetic, cosmological, and political traditions conceptualize “care” and
“repair” in ways that inform, (re)produce, challenge, and critically depart
from both disciplinary and interdisciplinary knowledge practices.


The Center invites and encourages proposals that reflect creative, critical
engagement with the conference keywords, including:


   - Care for the self and others, care for objects and environments, care
   as resistance, skill or labor, care for care as a concept
   - Repair as restorative justice, as bearing witness, as reducing
   inequities, as imagining otherwise, as world-building
   - Repair as precursor, constituting dimension, and/or actualized
   practice of contemporary reparations (within and beyond universities and
   other institutional settings)
   - Vocations of care and repair in classrooms, research labs, humanities
   centers, archives, museums, hospitals, prisons, and parklands
   - Ethics of care and the hermeneutics of repair in humanistic inquiry
   and traditional knowledge practices
   - Frameworks for care and repair in feminist, Black, Indigenous, ethnic,
    gender, and disability studies
   - Care and repair in the environmental humanities, environmental justice
   movement, health humanities and the post-pandemic world
   - Care, repair, and the value of resilience
   - Ethics and/as Aesthetics in creative production
   - Tensions, contradictions, and incommensurabilities between “care” and
   “repair” as world-making practices (e.g. in sites and communities
   constituted by collective trauma, decolonial and anti-colonial settings,
   mutual aid and abolitionist projects, intersectional sites of artistic and
   healing communities, etc.)
   - How care and repair create speculative and imminent possibilities for
   world-making, world-unmaking, and other-worldliness


Proposals invited for short presentations (10-15 mins).
Presentations will be organized into panels of 3-4 talks followed by a
moderated Q&A.
