Special Details About This Meeting/Audience:

The First Annual Central Illinois Interdisciplinary Graduate Conference is hosted by the Society of English Graduate Scholars at Illinois State University in Normal, IL and currently accepting presentation proposals. This year’s conference theme is the exploration of “the in-between” from diverse and varied scholarly perspectives.

Just as Edward Soja proposes in his theorizing of a Thirdspace, our goals with this year’s theme of the in-between are to “encourage you to think differently about the meanings and significance of space and those related concepts that compose and comprise the inherent spatiality of human life: place, location, locality, landscape, environment, home, city, region, territory, and geography.” The in-between represents a liminal space where everything comes together, where traditional understanding is necessarily complicated, and where uncertainty is most certain.

This conference is meant to be inclusive to a variety of disciplines and intellectual discourses. Potential paper topics to explore the in-between include but are certainly not limited to:

  • Borders and borderlands: geography, language, translation, lived spaces and experience
  • Life and death: ghosts, zombies, vampires, Frankenstein’s monster, angels
  • Childhood and adulthood: adolescence, children’s literature, maturation
  • Human and technology: cyborgs and posthumanism, medicine
  • Text and image: postmodernism and picture books, graphic novels, ebooks, multimodality, emojis
  • Bodies: relationships, health, visible and invisible disabilities
  • Media: television, theatre, gaming, breaking the fourth wall
  • Cultural binaries: gender, sex, fluidity, religion, race, morality
  • Classrooms: interdisciplinary pedagogies, history of academia, mathematical creative writing
