The 2020 ATGENDER Spring Conference will explore the possibilities for and necessity of embedding care in policy and activism. Adopting a broad approach to the concepts of care, policy and activism, we invite proposals from researchers, activists, practitioners, carers, archivists, artists and others from a range of backgrounds and disciplines.
This conference seeks to explore care and caring in all its diversity and invites participants to reflect on the devastating consequences of an uncaring state (across a range of time and places), and the vital work of activism and policy that centres care.
We welcome proposals for a range of formats (papers, panels, roundtables, workshops, performance, posters, artistic submissions etc.).

For individual 15min paper proposals please submit:

• Title and abstract (200 words max)
• Short biography (75 words max)

For 45 min or 1.5hr long roundtables, interactive and participatory workshops, performances:

• Type of activity
• Title and abstract – including details of the format, structure and preferred time – 45min or 1.5hr (350 words max)
• Short biography for all participants (75 words max each)

Please submit your proposals to atgender2020con@gmail.com by 16th December 2019.  Proposals must be sent in a single file as an attachment (Word Doc).
