Symposium « Queering the Quotidian: Differential and Contested Spaces Within Neoliberalism »

Date: 

7 Mars 2014 - 05h00 - 8 Mars 2014 - 04h59

The Society for Radical Geography, Spatial Theory, and Everyday Life invites submissions for our annual symposium to be held March 07, 2014 at Georgia State University in Atlanta, GA. This year’s theme is “Queering the Quotidian: Differential and Contested Spaces Within Neoliberalism,” and our keynote address will be delivered by Dr. Jen Jack Gieseking of the Digital and Computational Studies Initiative at Bowdoin College. Gieseking’s work examines the everyday co-productions of space and identity that support or inhibit social, spatial, and economic justice in urban and digital environments, with a special focus on sexuality and gender.

While many critical interrogations of neoliberalism understandably consider it ubiquitous in its ability to permeate and restructure individual experience and everyday life, this symposium seeks to highlight its moments of instability, incongruence, and unexpected contradiction. This year’s symposium invites research that rethinks theories of the everyday; of particular interest is work that engages queer possibility and impossibility in the production of space and everyday practice within neoliberalism.
