#CFP: #Menstruation in the #Media; University of Sheffield, UK; 22 October 2021

Menstruation in the Media: Call for Contributions

 

Calling researchers, advocates, and artists!

 

In collaboration with the Menstruation Research Network, this one-day event at the University of Sheffield will focus on media narratives about menstruation and related topics. It will bring together researchers in the fields of journalism and media studies, individual advocates, and representatives from NGOs. The event will take place at the University of Sheffield on 22nd October 2021, but this will be changed to an online format if necessary.

 

We are delighted to announce that our keynote speaker will be Annika Waheed. Annika is a non-clinical lecturer for Barts Health Trust in London and suffers from Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder, a condition that she describes as 'PMS's woefully misunderstood Satanic sibling'. She advocates, educates, and raises awareness via her Instagram page on which she candidly records her journey living with PMDD.

 

The day will also include 15-minute papers and workshops. Papers/ workshop sessions are free to explore any type of media (such as blogs, zines, podcasts, apps, websites, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, TikTok, newspapers, magazines, radio, cinema).

 

Topics could include (but are not limited to) the following mediatised aspects of menstrual experience:

  • Menstrual inequalities
  • Period Poverty
  • Menstrual Stigma
  • Menstrual products
  • The Environment (such as the impact of plastic products)
  • Transgender and non-binary identities
  • Intersectionality
  • Ethnic minority groups
  • Menstrual health (such as PMDD or endometriosis)
  • Education (such as in schools)
  • Menopause

 

If you would like to propose either a 15-minute presentation or a 45-minute workshop, please submit an abstract/ summary of up to 300 words along with a brief bio to the organisers Dr. Maria Tomlinson at maria.tomlinson@sheffield.ac.uk and Lottie Rhodes at C.Rhodes2@newcastle.ac.uk. The submission deadline is Friday 4th June. 

 

There is a limited amount of funding available for travel expenses for speakers/ workshop leaders (within the UK) who are students, ECRs, or unemployed. The event is supported by the Leverhulme Trust and will be free to attend.

Affinity Space #Ethnography: Exploring #QualitativeMethods for Studying #OnlineSpaces"; Thursday March 18th from 7.00-8:30PM EST #SQIP Virtual Salon

We are excited to announce yet another virtual salon this month for the SQIP virtual salon series before officially closing out the first season. See attached for the official flyer and list of panelists. This one should be relevant to many of us trying to do research in digital spaces, especially during the pandemic.

 

Thursday March 18th from 7-8:30PM EST: "Affinity Space Ethnography: Exploring Qualitative Methods for Studying Online Spaces"

[you can check your time zone at https://www.thetimezoneconverter.com ]

 

Affinity spaces are sites of informal learning where groups — perhaps knitters and fiber artists, fans of a movie or game, or members of a writing circle — interact around a "common endeavor" (Gee, 2004, p. 85). They may be physical, virtual or blended spaces, and they are often spread across many "portals" of conversation and action, such as social media hashtags, face-to-face meetings, message boards, blogs, or web pages. This salon brings education researchers who specialize in the exploration of writing and other literacy practices in online spaces into conversation with our qualitative psychology research community to examine connections and to learn from each other. Based on a decade of collaborative and individual research, the panelists have developed and continue to refine qualitative methods for tracing participation and understanding interaction in online spaces. What we have observed is that despite physical and temporal separation, members of online affinity spaces work and learn together, often establishing meaningful relationships; co-authoring artifacts; and maintaining sites, communities, or hashtags. To trace the development of affinity spaces and what participants learn from taking part in them, we examine the complex artifacts and texts that constitute online and blended social practices.
 
The panelists will begin by collectively introducing affinity space ethnography (Lammers, et al., 2012). Then each will share a snapshot of how they have implemented this methodology in various studies and what this work looks like. These snapshots explore questions about how to make initial research design decisions that guide the study of complex networked spaces, how participants traverse different tools or parts of online spaces, and how youth writers move between online and face-to-face spaces to develop their craft. Discussant Ashley Maynard, director of the Culture and Human Development Lab at the University of Hawai`i, will then provide comment, and audience members will have the opportunity for Q&A.

Please register for this event at https://www.crowdcast.io/sqip and share widely--free and open to the public!

#CFP: #Decolonising #CriticalTheory Workshop, 5 May 2021 - Submission deadline 8 Mar 2021


 

Dear friends of the Critical Theory in Hard Times network,

We are pleased to circulate a renewed CfP for the re-scheduled and online Decolonising Critical Thought workshop (Wed 5 May 2021) for further contributions and interest in the event.

We would be grateful if you could circulate this invite to anybody this might be of interest to. As last year, we particularly encourage the participation of PGRs and ECRs working in this area.

Best regards,
Sadiya, Paul, Robert and Davide
Co-convenors, Critical Theory in Hard Times network

Call for Participation: Decolonising Critical Thought Workshop

Wednesday 05th May 2021.

12-5pm. Online Event.

 

In recent years, through the contestation of symbolic figures, campaigns such as #CounteringColston and #RhodesMustFall undertaken in the context of the #BlackLivesMatter movement, have highlighted the lasting impact of colonialism in the public realm. These campaigns exist alongside wider debates about the less visible legacy of colonialism in contemporary power relations and the ongoing exclusions and oppressions that they sustain. In the education sector, and in Universities in particular, these discussions have prompted reflection on the possibilities and advantages of decolonising the curriculum. Attempts to diversify a Euro-centric and culturally hegemonic syllabus, have revealed more deep-rooted, structural challenges than a mere re-shuffling of the personnel that appear on reading lists. At the same time, important discussions have started in a wide range of research fields and disciplines on the colonial assumptions underpinning established intellectual traditions and research practices. This project poses the question of what it means to decolonise the methodologies used for engaging in intellectual production. We need to ask whether the concepts and questions through which we inscribe our inquiries are committed to modes of thought that perpetuate and sustain coloniality.

 

The Critical Theory in Hard Times research network was initiated in February 2019 at Manchester Metropolitan University with a research cluster event centred on the question: 'What does it means to be critical today?' Covid-19 imposed delays on the networks plans to meet over 2020, while also highlighting the varied ways in which structural inequality continues to exacerbate unequal access to resources and discrimination.  All of which emphasises the need to reflect on the relationship between structural inequality, coloniality and critical thought today. Our efforts as a network to re-think critical theory beyond the silos of particular traditions (including but not limited to postcolonial and decolonial thought, feminism, critical race theory, Frankfurt School, Gramscian, Bourdieusian, Foucauldian approaches, deconstruction), lead us to ask about the potential for dialogue and engagement between these approaches concerning the question of (de)colonisation. This workshop will ask to what extent a dialogue between these traditions, or a clarification of the terms of their incompatibility, can contribute towards identifying the resources that they provide towards creating a global critical theory.

 

Given that Covid-19 is still with us, the organising committee have made a decision to make the Workshop an online event, which provides a degree of confidence with which to organise. We are looking to experiment with the format of our engagement by hosting less formal modes of presentation in order to encourage discussions between contributors rather than a series of presentations. This call is conducted in the spirit of creating a vibrant network, which will bring individuals together to have meaningful and long-lasting collaborations and conversations.

 

For this reason, we ask for a 200-word statement of interest and an indication of the questions with which you are interested to engage – either from the indicative list or by adding to it.

 

Please send contributions by 8 March 2021 to criticaltheorynetwork@gmail.com (Participants will be notified of acceptance by 26 March)

 

We particularly encourage the participation of PGRs and ECRs.

 

Indicative Questions:

  • What are the colonial and racialised structures that endure in your field of study?
  • What does it mean to 'decolonise' critical thought?
  • How can we relate to the teaching and research conversations on 'decolonising' the curriculum and research?
  • In what way(s) has the pandemic exacerbated or highlighted inequality in your discipline/area of research?
  • What are the risks of institutionalisation, co-optation etc. and how can they be avoided?
  • What is the critical content of decolonisation?
  • What is the broader significance of these discussions for contemporary politics?
  • What dialogues / conversations can be started between different strands of CT?
  • How is the issue of epistemic incommensurability / incommunicability to be dealt with?
  • What does it mean to be methodologically decolonial?
  • What is a decolonial methodology?
  • Is a 'global critical theory' possible?
  • In what ways does 'practice as research' engage with the decolonisation of critical thought?

Presenter: Gordon Crean

This talk will be recorded
In 2018, an estimated 4.5 million people in the US were under some form of community supervision, compared to the 2.3 million people behind bars (Prison Policy Institute, 2018). The massive, expanding industry of transferring people from prison to community supervision—the prisoner reentry industry—is often touted as a "rehabilitative" alternative to the punitive policies of mass incarceration. In reality, it is largely set up to entrap criminalized people in cycles of failure, while encouraging them to blame themselves for that failure. The prisoner reentry industry perpetuates narratives of individual responsibility that attempt to blame the survivors of systems of oppression for the oppressive social conditions they face, thus justifying their continued criminalization and marginalization, while masking the structural root causes of social problems. Therefore, the dehumanizing myths surrounding reentry are a site of significant psychosocial struggle and resistance (while not always registered as such). In the current political moment of uprising and mobilization, Black, Indigenous, disability justice, queer and trans feminist legacies of transformative justice and abolitionist organizing present the path forward towards liberation and decolonization.

This community conversation will begin with a brief presentation about cultural violence and the prisoner reentry industry, then open up to a broader conversation about psychosocial perspectives on prison industrial complex abolition, as well as the roles of psychologists, critical scholars, scholar-activists, etc. in supporting abolition.

JSACP is an open access, free of charge journal that aims to
highlight 'engaged scholarship' and the very important social change
work done by professionals and activists that would not normally find
its way into publication in the form of empirical research. The
journal attempts to break down the divide between theory and practice
in one of the most critical areas of our work: social transformation
toward social justice and peace. This journal features action-oriented
articles, meaning manuscripts that discuss actual work (e.g.,
advocacy, activism, research, policy formulation and implementation,
training, legislation) that has been conducted by the submitting
author(s) and not proposed work or simple conceptualizations of
issues.
