produced by gender. The Graduate Consortium in Women’s Studies
conference, <i>Gender, Sexuality and Urban Spaces</i>, seeks to explore
the reciprocity of these complex relationships. We are interested in how life
(or living) in urban spaces mark as well as produce gendered and sexed bodies
and how gender, class and race relations, performances and sexualities, in
turn, make their marks on the urban spaces. By urban spaces, we mean the lived
practices and representations through which a variety of spaces are constituted
within and beyond the scope of the city. We invite submissions that examine the
construction of gender and sexuality (in conjunction with race, class, &
mobility) and urban spaces across a range of historical, cultural, national,
fictional, and conceptual contexts.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;text-indent:64.0pt;mso-pagination:
