2020 Program .PDF Here Digital Copies available at: https://uofcfreeexchange.wordpress.com/2020-program Dear Free Exchange 2020 Attendee, The land we are currently standing on is adjacent to the confluence of the Bow and Elbow Rivers. The Blackfoot name of this land is “Moh’kins’tsis”. Moh’kins’tsis is the ancestral and unceded territories of the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprising the Siksika, Piikani, and Kainai First Nations), as well as the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including the Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Wesley First Nations). This city (colonially known as Calgary) is home to Métis Nation of Alberta, Region III. The Treaty 7 Region is home to Métis, Inuit, and First Nations peoples, as well as Indigenous peoples from across Turtle Island. As a settler, I am hesitant to welcome you to a space that is not mine, which I too occupy as a permanent visitor; instead, I want to simply thank you for joining us at the 2020 Free Exchange Interdisciplinary Graduate Conference. Our topic this year is Space, Place, and Abyss. With the events currently unfolding on Wet’suwet’en Territories, the topic continues to feel particularly pertinent to our contemporary moment. Over the next three days, we have an extensive line up. We’ve partnered with the Calgary Distinguished Writers’ Program and we will be “An Evening with Lee Maracle, Leanne Betasamosake Simpson, and Gwen Benaway” in lieu of having an independent keynote on Friday; on Saturday, we recommend all conference attendees join the masterclasses that are sandwiched between our panels. Our presenters over Saturday and Sunday will be guiding us through topics such as multidirectional spaces, interspaces, and common spaces; the panels are made up of a combination of critical and creative projects. During the many breaks and meals, please check out our chapbook and raffle table. The book sales go directly to our authors, and all proceeds from the raffle (which feature donated books from amazing writers in the University of Calgary Department of English) will be donated to Unist’ot’en Camp. We look forward to a Free Exchange of ideas, and we hope you have an excellent weekend! Sincerely, Shuyin Yu (she/her) Senior Co-Chair, Free Exchange 2020 PhD Student, Department English On behalf of: Free Exchange Conference Committee Dear Visitors and Potential Incoming Students, Welcome to the Free-Exchange Conference, to the University of Calgary Department of English, and—for many—to the city of Calgary (Treaty 7). We are so pleased to have you join us for a weekend of incredible speakers, panels, and social events. Every year’s conference is a culmination of the dedication, energy, and imagination of a team of graduate students, and once again this year I am impressed with the professionality and collegiality of the 2020 conference organizers. The two co-chairs, Shuyin Yu and Tathagata Som, and their committee, Ben Groh, Amy LeBlanc, and Trynne Delaney, as well as a great host of willing volunteers, have created what is sure to be an incredible weekend. I find this year’s topic, Space, Place, and Abyss, particularly relevant in the context of the ongoing and complex social and cultural concerns which arise—and have carried over—in this new decade: Indigenous sovereignty, climate change, political tensions across Turtle Island (North America), racism and radicalization, and so much more. I invite you to take this weekend as an opportunity for creating new conversations, ideas, relationships, and practices with each other. I am continually amazed at the diverse and intelligent community of graduate students whom I am fortunate to call colleagues, and as we enter this weekend I invite you to become a part of this lively community! I also hope that you enjoy all that this city has to offer throughout the weekend: from a vibrant restaurant scene, to museums and art galleries, river walking trails, independent coffee shops, and one of the most beautiful libraries in the world, there are plenty of opportunities to experience the highlights of Calgary during your stay. Whether you have come from far away or consider Calgary home, I am excited to welcome you to the 2020 Free-Exchange Conference! Sincerely, Leah Van Dyk (she/her) President and Director, English Department Graduate Association PhD Student, Department of English On behalf of: English Department Graduate Association and the Department of English Friday, February 28th 4:00 - 4:30 pm Co-Chairs’ Opening Address, Rosemont Room, Hotel Alma, 169 University Gate NW, Calgary, AB T2N 1N4 4:30 - 6:30 pm Opening Reception, Rosemont Room 6:30 - 7:00 pm Travel Break, MacEwan Hall, 402 Collegiate Blvd NW, Calgary, AB T2N 4V8 7:00 - 9:00 pm An Evening with Lee Maracle, Leanne Betasamosake Simpson, and Gwen Benaway, MacEwan Hall 9:00 - 11:00 pm Pub Night Social, Last Defense Lounge, 3rd floor of MacEwan Hall Saturday, February 29th 8:00 - 8:30 am Breakfast, Rosemont Room, Hotel Alma 8:30 - 9:45 am Panel 1: Multidirectional Space, Rosemont Room Chair: Hebe Tocci Marin Stephen Bauhart, “Real History, Fictional Places: Transmedia Dungeons and Dragons” Dania Idriss, “Our House in the Valley” 9:45 - 10:00 am Travel Break, Executive Council Chambers, 2nd floor of MacEwan Hall 10:00 - 11:00 am Masterclass with Lee Maracle, Council Chambers 11:00 - 11:15 am Break, Council Chambers 11:15 - 12:15 pm Masterclass with Leanne Betasamosake Simpson, Council Chambers 12:15 - 1:30 pm Lunch Break, Rosemont Room 1:30 - 2:30 pm Masterclass with Gwen Benaway, Council Chambers 2:30 - 2:45 pm Travel Break, Rosemont Room 2:45 - 4:00 pm Panel 2: Interspace, Rosemont Room Chair: Mahmoud Ahabneh Marjorie Rugunda, “Rejecting the African ‘single story:’ Female Subjectivities in Mati Diops Atlantics.” Denise Weisz, “Smuggling and F(l)ailing Across the Border: Immigration Narrative and Textual Stutter in Othello” (in absentia) Lizette Gerber, “The Radical Black Geographies of Victor LaValle’s The Ballad of Black Tom” 4:00 - 4:15 pm Break, Rosemont Room 4:15 - 5:30 pm Panel 3: Abyss, Rosemont Room Chair: Ben Groh Hannah Anderson, “The Great Depression” Ian Kinney, “Air Salt” Kaitlyn Purcell, “Nexopia Dot Com” 5:30 - 6:00 pm Wrap Up, Rosemont Room 6:00 - 8:00 pm Free Time / Travel to Kensington (Sunnyside Station) 8:00 - 11:00 pm Pub Night Social, Midtown Kitchen & Bar 302 10 St NW, Calgary, AB T2N 1V8 Sunday, March 1st 9:30 - 10:00 am Breakfast, Rosemont Room 10:00 - 11:15 am Panel 4: Place Past Time, Rosemont Room Chair: Kirsten Cordingley Apala Kundu, “Reading the inclusion/exclusion nexus through an exploration of space in Punyakante Wijenaike’s Giraya” (in absentia) Srigowri Kumar, “’Looks like you’ve got a funny one here:’ Homophobic Spaces of Belonging in Shyam Selvadurai’s Funny Boy” Laura Brooks, “Queer Fantasies: Queer Space in She- Ra and the Princesses of Power’s ‘Princess Prom’” 11:15 - 11:30 am Break, Rosemont Room 11:30 - 12:45 pm Panel 5: Transgression, Rosemont Room Chair: Trynne Delaney Paul Meunier, “Navigating the “House”: Transgressing Spatial and Temporal Boundaries for Poetic Futurities” Amy LeBlanc, “Feeling Space and Place: The Story of a Modern Woman in London” 12:45 - 2:00 pm Lunch, Rosemont Room 2:00 - 3:15 pm Panel 6: Common, Rosemont Room Chair: Min Lei Jeffrey Pettis, “Mapping the Abyss: The Epistemology of Space in Mark Z.

Rainbow Warrior is Baker’s passionate personal chronicle, from a repressive childhood in 1950s Kansas, to a harrowing stint in the US Army, and finally his arrival in San Francisco, where he bloomed as both a visual artist and social justice activist.

In June 2018, the Feminist Caucus presented a panel called "Remembering Forward", which brought together four poets who strongly identify with the term "feminist".

  • Even Your Queer Reading Is White Vivek Shraya’S Poetic Justice
    TARA ATLURI Even Your Queer Reading Is White Vivek Shraya’s Poetic Justice ABSTRACT Racism is inextricable from queer politics. The prevailing whiteness of main- stream queer communities in Western secular contexts draws attention to the pressing need to consider how white supremacy wounds racialized queer people. Vivek Shraya is a transgender South Asian Canadian artist, whose multidis- ciplinary creative praxis and prolific writing is profoundly valuable in times of pervasive systemic oppression and commonplace cruelty (Vivekshraya.com 2016). Shraya’s most recent book of poetry, even this page is white (2016) is a visceral challenge to the racism that defines white settler colonial ideologies in Turtle Island. Shraya’s poetry smashes the veneer of an imagined polite, peaceful, and quaint “Canada” not marred by racism. By discussing whiteness as an economic, structural, and embodied form of sexual capital, the author shatters the illusion of a queer community that is not steeped in white supremacist ideology. Racist injunctions regarding whose aesthetics and bodies are constructed as “properly” queer and as deserving of love produce ostensible feminist and queer “com- munities” of normative and celebrated whiteness. even this page is white is a rich assemblage of queer anti-colonial art, a prosaic form of politics that refuses complicity in the face of oppression. Shraya’s brilliance lies in merging the aesthetics of poetic form with an affective political discourse that challenges the chilling violence of racism. even this page is white boldly confronts whiteness, contesting neo-Orientalist forms of multicultural pageantry and nauseating platitudes of “diversity” that are used to evade questions of systemic oppression.
