Call for Papers: Annual Meeting of the Association of American
Geographers (Los
Angeles, April 9-13, 2013)
Proposed Session(s): Queer(ing) Geographies
(to be accompanied by a panel session of invited scholars)
Sponsored by the Geographic Perspectives on Women and the Sexuality and
Space specialty groups
Organizers:
Emily Mitchell-Eaton (Department of Geography, Syracuse University)
Sean Wang (Department of Geography, Syracuse University)
"By 'queer' I do not mean merely adding homosexual identities and
practices to the
mix. Rather, I am positing a political and theoretical perspective that
suggests
that sexuality is disciplined by social institutions and practices that
normalize
and naturalize heterosexuality and homosexual practices including marriage,
family, and biological reproduction by marginalizing persons,
institutions, or
practices that deviate from these norms" (Manalansan 2006, 225).
"[Q]ueer lives cannot transcend categories or boundaries. The task for queer
theorists, then, is to embrace the critique of identity to its fullest
extent by
abandoning the search for an inherently radical queer subject and turning
attention to the advancement of a critical approach to the workings of sexual
normativities and non-normativities" (Oswin 2008, 96).
"As such, [new scholarship in queer geographies] accounts for fractures
within
queer cultural politics and merges postcolonial and critical race theory with
queer theory to bring questions of race, colonialism, geopolitics, migration,
globalization and nationalism to the fore in an area of study previously
trained
too narrowly on sexuality and gender" (Oswin 2008, 90).
In the past few years, there has been a wide array of scholarship in
queer / LGBT
studies, both in geography and beyond. Yet as Browne (2006, 886) reminded us,
"queer is more than shorthand for LGBT," and research that focuses on
non-heterosexuals does not necessarily imply a queer orientation. In the
proposed
session(s), we call for papers that bring queer theory into geographical
research,
on sexuality, gender, citizenship and beyond. Of particular interest are
papers
that include interdisciplinary perspectives and/or address tensions
between queer
and LGBT studies. The language used here is intentionally broad, for we
want to
include voices from as many disciplinary perspectives as possible;
however, we are
especially intrigued by queer interventions into the subdiscipline of
population
geography, a subdiscipline that traditionally relies on positivist
quantitative
approaches to categories and counting. Some organizing themes have been
listed
below, but we invite submissions from all areas of queer geographies, and
they
will be grouped into sessions accordingly.
Family: The past few decades have seen the proliferation of so-called
"non-traditional families": single-mother households; mixed and multi-racial
couples; familial separation and reunification of (im)migrants; gay and
lesbian
couples having children. Yet despite these social changes, geographers
have paid
relatively little attention as the unit of inquiry compared to
anthropologists and
sociologists, and it seems to be an area ripe for queer intervention.
Specifically
within LGBT studies, can we 'queer' family? Or do notions of family and
citizenship remain (hetero)normative?
(Im)migration: Although queer theory is relatively new to the scene of
migration
scholarship, it has been a very productive avenue of inquiry. Not only is
(im)migration intimately linked to political economy, power and
difference, queer
statuses often pose significant impediments to mobility. Any non-normative
sexuality, race, marital status, racial/ethnic/linguistic positionalities
will
most likely invite further scrutiny. Furthermore, 'queer spaces' in this
context
work beyond stereotypical urban gay ghettos, and instead direct our attention
towards contested, transitional, and in-between spaces.
Interdisciplinary Perspectives: Queer studies have provided a fertile
space for
engagements outside traditional disciplinary boundaries. The proposed
session(s)
seek to continue that trend by bringing geographers together with other queer
scholars. We all have personal differences in educational background,
disciplinary
training, preferred methodology, specializations, etc. Such differences
should be
particularly productive for queering our conversations.
Submissions:
Please submit abstracts of no more than 250 words and a short
bibliography in a
single PDF document to Sean Wang (shwang13@syr.edu) by October 1, 2012.
Please
direct any inquiries to session organizers (Emily Mitchell-Eaton,
emmitche@syr.edu
and Sean Wang, shwang13@syr.edu).
Authors of successful submissions will be contacted by October 12, 2012.
They will
be expected to register for the conference and submit their abstracts
online at
the AAG website by October 24, 2012. Please note a range of registration
fees will
apply and must be paid before this date.

New mobilities research post at LANCASTER
Research Associate Sociology
Salary: £25,251 to £26,629
Closing Date: Friday 05 October 2012
Reference: A500
You will work with colleagues at Birmingham, Southampton and UCL, on an
EPSRC funded Research Programme entitled 'Liveable Cities'. This post,
directed by Professor John Urry, is concerned to identify, document and
assess the multiple ways of reducing the transport of people and objects.
You should have a PhD (or award within 12 months) and a background in
social science/design/geography. You will also have a thorough
understanding and working knowledge of the field of transport/mobilities.
This post is to begin January 2013, and is fixed term for 20 months.
Informal enquiries may be made to John Urry, (j.urry@lancaster.ac.uk).
------------------
This RA post involves working with colleagues at Birmingham (managerial
centre), Lancaster, Southampton and University College London, on a major
EPSRC Research Programme entitled Liveable Cities which runs 2012-7.
The Lancaster team (Profs Rachel Cooper, John Urry and Dr Chris Boyko) is
concerned with how to design cities that bring about very large reductions
in carbon and related emissions and which do not worsen and hopefully
improve people's levels of 'wellbeing'. Much of the research will involve
the detailed design and engineering of future cites.
This particular post involves working with John Urry and is concerned to
identify, document and assess the multiple ways of reducing the transport
of people and objects. It will mainly involve desk/web research and visits
of test sites to examine innovative ways in which the physical transport of
people and objects has been reduced in certain places and could be reduced
in the future.
It will be necessary to examine what is achieved through physically moving
people and objects about and how these uses or benefits of movement are not
lost and could be enhanced. The material gathered in this project will feed
into the design process of the case-studies being undertaken in this
Research Programme. In particular wellbeing indicators will be developed
relating to transport/mobilities and we will consider how wellbeing may be
developed or enhanced even if the scale of the physical movement of both
people and objects is being reduced.
Candidates should have a PhD (or award within 12 months) and a background
in social science/design/geography. They should also have a thorough
understanding and working knowledge of the field of transport/mobilities.
They should also have a demonstrated research record and potential to
publish in top-quality, peer-reviewed international conferences and
journals.
Liveable Cities is a multi-disciplinary project, bringing together
researchers from a wide range of disciplines—social science, engineering,
geography, design, business management, environmental science, psychology
and, urban studies. It is a five-year, £6.4M, EPSRC-funded research project
comprising four universities, led by the University of Birmingham and
including Lancaster University, University College London and the
University of Southampton.
This RA will work within the Centre for Mobilities Research (CeMoRe). This
Centre has promoted
the study of 'mobilities', a new interdisciplinary field partially
established by CeMoRe since its
establishment in 2003. Mobilities research encompasses the analysis of the
global, national and local
movements of people, objects, capital, information and material objects,
and how they combine
together to engender economic and social patterns. CeMoRe houses the major
ISI ranked journal
Mobilities. For more detail see
http://www.lancs.ac.uk/fass/centres/cemore/index.php.
CeMoRe is housed within the Sociology Department at Lancaster University,
which is one of the
most highly regarded of such departments. Lancaster Sociology has played a
central role in the
global development of sociology. It was ranked as being in the top 5
departments in the assessment
of research conducted in the UK in 2008. It has always been top-rated in
such assessments. It houses
various major research centres besides CeMoRe, the Centre for Science
Studies, the Centre for
Environmental Change, the Centre for Gender and Women's Studies, the
Cultural Political Economy
Research Centre, the ESRC Centre for Economic and Social Aspects of
Genomics and the Unesco
Chair in Gender Research Group. There are around 27 teaching staff, 10
research officers and 70 PhD
students.

ANU Conference
Subject: ANU Conference
State, Society & Governance in Melanesia Program and the Regulatory
Institutions Network are hosting a conference at The Australian National
University on:
Innovation, Creativity, Access to Knowledge and Development in Pacific
Island Countries
Many Pacific Island countries are currently considering whether to
introduce intellectual property legislation, or whether to amend existing
legislation. One of the drivers of this process are negotiations to join
multilateral Free Trade Organisations, such as the World Trade
Organisation, and to sign bilateral Trade Agreements, such as the European
Union’s Economic Partnership Agreement and the proposed PACER Plus
agreement with Australia and New Zealand. Another driver is concern that
the traditional knowledge of the country is currently not adequately
protected from the risk of exploitation by third parties.
This conference will bring together a range of speakers from throughout
the Pacific Island countries, as well as Australia, Europe and the United
States, to discuss the implications of intellectual property laws on
development in the region. Its purpose is to enable a deeper understanding
of the potential advantages and disadvantages of different models of
intellectual property protection in the context of Pacific Island
countries, to help inform the decisions that will need to be made
concerning these issues in the next few years.
Date: Monday 24 to Tuesday 25 September 2012
Venue: Seminar Room 1.04, Coombs Extension Building
[Building 8], Fellows Road, The Australian National University(parking)
