James A. Rawley Graduate Conference in the Humanities
University of Nebraska-Lincoln | October 5-6, 2023
Join us for a series of paper panels, roundtables, invited lectures, and workshops Thursday, October 5 – Friday, October 6, 2023, that examine the intersections between race, class, and gender. Our theme, “In Between the Lines: Race, Class, Gender, and the Intersections Between,” aims to bring together interdisciplinary scholarship from students across the humanities to evaluate how these categories pertain to society, culture, politics, economies, and religions across the world over time.
All sessions will be held in-person in the Centennial Room of the Nebraska City Campus Union with Zoom options for those unable to attend in-person. Individual panel links for Zoom attendance are in construction and will be available on this page closer to the conference date.
