  1. Women's Life Narratives in World History: Gender, Narrative, Subjectivity. Miriam Neirick, California State University, Northridge

    My paper will consider whether women’s life narratives might serve as a productive site of inquiry for world historians seeking to integrate women’s history more fully into the field.

  2. Productive Perversity: Locating Agency in Racialized Pornography. Melissa Knoll, University of California, Riverside

    This paper seeks to put genre theory in conversation with Asian American body politics to show how genre mediates the kinds of cultural meanings that are produced about race, body, gender, and nation.
