Conference scheduled for Friday, April 28, 2006. If you cannot attend the
conference you may have the option of presenting to the class on the last week
of class. You are greatly encouraged to
submit a paper proposal to the CES Student conference. This will be good
experience for you to present at an academic conference. With the feedback you

Comparative Ethnic Studies Undergraduate Student Conference
April 28, 2006
“World Class in Your Face: Resistance, Refusal, Renegotiation”
http://libarts.wsu.edu/ces/conference.php
The theme for the 2006 CES undergraduate conference is “World Class in Your Face: Resistance, Refusal, Renegotiation.” This conference is meant to raise awareness about the injustices that oppress classes on our campus, and within our society based on their sexual orientation, gender, nationality, skin color, faith tradition, class, ethnicity, ability, and politics. We also hope to challenge WSU’s mantra of “World Class Face to Face,” by considering what this actually means. Through this awareness we want to empower those who have been denied a voice and provide a safe space for those who have simply stopped talking because no one in power was actively listening. We hope to break down divisive racial, cultural, social, and economic barriers, and build in their place strong coalitions grounded in solidarity, resistance, refusal, and renegotiation, which will establish networks and alternative structures for students’ agency and their antiracist work.
We will be accepting individual or small-group proposals for papers, panels, performances, posters, and other forms that will address the conference theme directly or indirectly. Participation formats include:
Multimedia: video, power point presentation, visual art
Poster: visual representation of academic work / paper
Paper: academic paper written for a CES, WST, or AMST course
Performance: music, dance, poetry, drama, spoken word
Each proposal should include a title and an abstract of the proposed submission as well as the name or names of presenters and their majors, and contact information including email, phone number, and address. Please also include your Friday class schedule or the time in which you are NOT available to present.
While preference will be given to CES majors and minors, this conference is open to ALL students at WSU who are interested in challenging their “world class” education and resisting, refusing, and renegotiating racism, sexism, classism, homophobia, and other oppressions at and beyond WSU.
Students in select CES courses may inquire about participating in this conference as a possible option for their final paper/project or for extra credit.
