He will show how age was tied to labor and production in the early African-American experience; how elders shaped early African-American culture; how tensions, conflicts, and bridges arose between different generations of African-Americans; and how people used age to advance particular interests. Drawing on written, visual, and audio materials from a wide range of sources, Professor Knight will argue that age mattered to black people in early America.

14. NEH Summer Institute Applications are due March 1st for our summer 2018 NEH institute!
ART AND PUBLIC CULTURE IN CHICAGO.
At the Newberry Library
June 11-June 29, 2018
Led by Liesl Olson (Director of Chicago Studies, Newberry Library), Rebecca Zorach (Professor of Art History, Northwestern University), and Chad Heap (Associate Professor of American Studies, George Washington University), Art and Public Culture in Chicago will look closely at the arts, their reception, and their civic import in Chicago from the 1893 World's Fair through the present moment. We are particularly interested in artistic communities, small-scale venues, and vernacular expressions that developed against or alongside Chicago's mainstream cultural institutions-especially those that took shape in the city's African American neighborhoods. The setting of Art and Public Culture in Chicago will provide participants with a coherent case study, a wealth of resources, and the opportunity to experience the actual institutions, places, and neighborhoods of our program of study. We also aim to underscore connections between Chicago and other American cities, and we welcome teachers and scholars with an interest in urban spaces, art, and public culture more broadly. This institute contributes to the NEH's recent initiative, "The Common Good," by inviting participants to reflect more broadly on the role of the arts and the humanities in the public sphere. The ultimate aim is to understand the challenges to public culture now by looking through a deeply historical lens.
The institute will include visiting faculty in art history, literature, American studies, African American studies, and creative arts, including Adam Green (University of Chicago), Davarian Baldwin (Trinity College), and Nicole Marroquin (School of the Art Institute of Chicago). Participants will also engage with a rich array of primary sources in the Newberry's collection.

Call for Papers/Applications
- Critical Feminist Studies CSA Call for Papers The Critical Feminist Studies Working Group [CFSWG] of the Cultural Studies Association [www.
culturalstudiesassociation.org ] is pleased to invite submissions for one roundtable and one panel to be presented at the 2018 conference, which will take place at Carnegie Mellon University from May 31-June 2:
2. Call for Papers- "Futures of Feminist Science Studies"Call for Papers: "Futures of Feminist Science Studies"Roundtable on “Interventions” in Critical Feminist Theory
Panel on Critical Feminist Studies and the Possibilities for Social Justice Interventions
- What are ways to conceptualize interventions? Can they be productive, energizing forces for theory and practice or problematic obstacles to feminist progress?
- What cultural spaces/cultural products/case studies operate as a promotion and/or policing of interventional strategies? How does this limit or expand the intersectional lens of Critical Feminist Studies?
- What are the cisgendering, racializing, and disabling effects of feminist interventions? How does neoliberalism and globalization play a part in these effects?
We encourage papers that draw from diverse fields including but not limited to: women's and gender studies, sexuality studies, feminist philosophy, sociology, anthropology, political economy, critical race theory, postcolonial theory, media studies, critical disability studies, and/or cultural studies.
- What is the future of social justice interventions under Trump’s administration?
- Should we continue to imagine ‘feminist utopias’ as a strategy of intervention, or are there other possible conceptions and strategies to develop and defend?
- How might new or reframed Critical Feminist Pedagogy be developed as a form of social justice intervention(s)?
You need to be a CSA member to submit. Please indicate which of the panels you would like to apply for with a brief abstract of your paper/presentation (500-700 words) and a short bio (in one document) to the EasyChair admission platform by February 16, 2018.
Questions about our CSA Working Group can be directed to Dara Persis Murray (dara.murray@mville.edu) and Jennifer Scuro (jscuro@cnr.edu).
This special issue of Women's Studies: an interdisciplinary journal
invites submissions that work at the intersections of science studies,
feminism, and cultural studies. We are especially interested in work that
explores the possibilities that emerge from feminist science studies, both
as a critique science’s “culture of no culture” and as a pedagogical
intervention relevant to the training of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality
Studies students. Submissions for this issue should fall into one of two
broad categories: "Gender, Science, and the Practice of Culture" and
"Feminist Science Studies in the University Classroom."
General topics of interest for the first category include: DIY and citizen
science; toxicity and feminized labor; fat studies and the medical gaze;
globalization and/or indigenous science; feminism and evolutionary
psychology; reproductive justice; queer ecology; ecofeminism and the
Anthropocene; WISE; Girls Who Code; and feminism and science writing.
Editorial review will prioritize submissions that analyze the production
and application of scientific knowledge at the intersections of gender,
race, class, ability, and difference. We are also interested in pedagogy
and praxis pieces that attend to the goals, opportunities, and challenges
of integrating feminist science studies into the gender and sexuality
studies classroom—especially as they relate to student engagement with
environmental justice, citizen science, and the medicalization of
difference.
Interested parties should submit a 400-600-word proposal and C.V. To
drivers@fullerton.edu by March 20th, 2018. Proposals should outline the
article’s projected page length and framework of inquiry, as well as any
novel archives, methods or analytical approaches. Notifications will be
distributed by April 15 with articles due for review by June 30.
Call for applications: 2018 UMN-SSRC Interdisciplinary Dissertation Proposal Development Program
Application Deadline: February 9, 2018
University of Minnesota-Social Science Research Council Interdisciplinary Dissertation Proposal Development (DPD) project is a three-year effort to expand and improve formal dissertation prospectus and grant proposal development for humanities and social science doctoral students at the University of Minnesota. In 2018 we will be selecting 12 graduate students to participate in the program, which includes an intensive five-day workshop in spring, followed by student summer research, and another intensive five-day workshop in the early fall prior to fall research grant proposal deadlines. Students will receive up to $3,000 in summer research funding and are required to register for a graduate seminar in fall 2018 as part of the program. The faculty facilitators work closely with the students on preparing research questions, literature reviews, identifying grant opportunities, work plans, and writing proposals and prospectuses; the students work together in peer groups as well. The goal is to increase student success in grant competitions as well as to refine a dissertation prospectus that may help the students better concentrate their efforts and reduce time to completion. The program targets students at the end of their second or third year (depending on department expectations) in graduate school, before defending their prospectus.Applications to the program are due on Friday, February 9, 2018.
