Please join the Critical Contemporary Studies workshop for our first conference preview panel, featuring graduate students who will be presenting at national conferences. Light lunch will be available at 12:30 for all who RSVP (see link on this page).

This panel will feature graduate student presentations on contemporary black artistic production. Our four panelists will each preview short versions of their conference papers followed by discussion. We'll talk about the presentations and reflect on the fields of Black Studies and Contemporary Studies, but we'll also discuss the conference-going process more generally (how to apply and get accepted and what to do when you're there!). We invite all faculty, staff, and graduate students (both experienced conference-goers and those who have never been to one) to join us for this event.
