| Hola a todos una vez más. Me disculpo por enviaros tres correos en tan pocos días, pero así como vienen, os los envío para que podáis planear con tiempo vuestra agenda académica y profesional. Primero, recordaros que en solo 4 días se vence el plazo para enviar una propuesta para el panel de Feministas Unidas en el MLA de este año 2019 en Seattle. Aquí va la información una última vez: 1. MLA 2020 Call for Papers Feminista Unidas Guaranteed Session: Intervenciones feministas en la era digital Where: Seattle When: January 9-12, 2020 El campo de las humanidades en la era digital, revolución tecnológica, inteligencia artificial, Big Data, entre otras, conlleva a utilizar componentes tecnológicos con el fin de expandir el conocimiento a través de nuevas formas de investigación, el surgimiento y desarrollo de otras preguntas, además de intervenir con formas alternativas dentro de este campo de estudio. Esta mesa tiene como objetivo dialogar en cómo la incorporación de intervenciones feministas (prácticas, teorías y/o metodologías) con la tecnología (componentes digitales) han permitido resistir y/o desafiar sistemas patriarcales dentro y fuera de la academia y que el feminismo permee distintas esferas de la vida a través del proceso de análisis, creación de proyectos/plataformas, como posteriormente en la interpretación de los resultados. Esto conlleva a reflexionar en cómo las intervenciones feministas con el uso de la tecnología, influyen en el presente y en el futuro de las humanidades ¿Qué valores deben de ser esenciales en estas formas de estudios y los cuales deben de incluirse. ¿Qué proyectos son un ejemplo de estas intervenciones? Y ¿cómo la tecnología ha ayudado a expandir los estudios feministas?

We know about students' economic debts, which women have more of, while earning fewer dollars for repayment. What about the other expenses, psychological and social, of seeking degrees, pursuing jobs, maintaining community, and supporting family? How do you decide what load the budget can bear, negotiate spending, and the bottom line in these venues? 250-word proposal; two-page c.v.; no title needed. Send proposals to: Michelle A. Massé (mmasse@lsu.edu) 2) All Too Human: Gender and Aging in Academic Workforces Co-sponsored with the Age Studies Transdisciplinary Connections Forum Description: This collaborative roundtable examines aging/gender in academic life stages. We are interested in the non-linear temporal torsions in academia's timeline entangling chronological age and career stage. The Neverland of graduate studies/contingent labor that suggests one is too young for adult identity, mid-career responsibilities, as well as retirement's Promised Land, which may be unenterable, but is also yoked to being too old to continue working, are some key examples. 250-word proposal; two-page c.v.; no title needed. Send proposals to: Michelle A. Massé (mmasse@lsu.edu 3) Being Online: Risks and Rewards for Women in Academe Description: Gift or poison? Source of solidarity or star system? Means of connection and collaboration or more uncounted work? This guaranteed roundtable will build on the conference theme of “being human” by addressing the risks and rewards of being online for women in academe. How is social media used to counter and/or reinforce institutional inequities? What unique opportunities and/or threats—professional, political, personal—does it pose? 250-word proposal; two-page c.v.; no title needed Send proposals to: Rebecca Colesworthy (rebecca.colesworthy@gmail.com) | ||
