Join Academics from Boston and beyond for the 10th Tufts Graduate Humanities Conference! This conference brings together the work of local humanities departments in the Boston area to consider a central theme; this year’s theme engages with the concept of work. Panels focus on topics related to work such as ‘Anti-Work’ and ‘Working Bodies’.
The keynote lecture “Bankrolling Enlightenment: Reed Erickson and The Weird History of Trans Philanthropy” will be given by Dr. Hil Malatino (Penn State University). There will also be a series of panels composed of graduate students throughout the day. Some talks include “Unruly Bodies of ‘Prostitute’: A Citational Referent to the Discursive Subject of the Deviant Body in Colonial India” with Anna Karthika and “Disobedient Dispossession: The Black Mother’s Queer Theory” with Ketan Jain.
