Session CFP:  Gender and Sexuality in the Construction of Knowledge
[working title],
German Studies Association Denver,  USA, October 2013

We seek papers from scholars working on gender and sexuality, including
the appearance of bodies, as a component of disciplinary formation;
contests over what is defined as knowledge or method; the use of gendered
ascriptions in defining the proper characteristics of researchers and
objects of study; and other similar topics linking gender or sexuality,
power, and the construction of knowledge. Those of us organizing the
session will provide perspectives from the histories of German economics,
historiography, and philosophy  in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

The GSA considers papers in the areas of German history, literature,
culture, politics and any other discipline with a focus on German-speaking
Europe in any time period.  The deadline for submissions is 15 February
2013.

If you are interested in joining us, please provide a short description of
your proposed topic to  Marynel Ryan Van Zee ( mkryan@umn.edu) and Falko
Schnicke (falko.schnicke@gmx.de) by 11 January 2013.
