Duke Feminist Theory Workshop Application

About

Now in its seventeenth year, the Duke Feminist Theory Workshop (FTW) has become a premier forum for interdisciplinary discussions of Feminist Theory in the US, offering a unique opportunity for internationally recognized faculty and young scholars to engage in sustained dialogue about feminist theory as a scholarly domain of inquiry. Seminars allow for focused participant exchange, roundtables synthesize central debates of the weekend, and provocative keynote lectures all bring those who attend the workshop into collaborative conversations.

The next workshop will be held at Duke University on March 22 and 23, 2024.  The keynote speakers for 2024 are Grace Kyungwon Hong (UCLA); Julie Livingston (New York University); Jasbir Puar (Rutgers University); and Kevin E Quashie (Brown University).  The Closing Roundtable speakers Heather Berg (Washington University); Rana Jaleel (University of California, Davis); Emily Owens (Brown University); and Robyn Wiegman (Duke University).  You can find more information about the workshop here and information about the 2024 speakers and programme here.

Yale is an institutional co-sponsor of the FTW, and can support transportation and lodging for 2-3 graduate student attendees.  If you are interested in attending the 2024 workshop, please fill out the brief application here no later than 5pm on Monday, 4 December.  You will be asked to write a brief statement (no more than 250 words) explaining why you wish to attend the Duke Feminist Theory Workshop, and why it makes sense for you to do so this year.
