In line with ChLA’s fiftieth anniversary and a conference themed “Looking Back, Looking Forward: 50 Years of ChLA," this hybrid session invites brief (5-minute) talks and/or posters about applying crip time to the teaching or studying of children’s literature. Disability scholars explore what has been termed crip time: the kind of time experienced by people whose disabilities mean that they engage with the world at a different pace than normative time. As Alison Kafer claims: “Rather than bend disabled bodies and minds to meet the clock, crip time bends the clock to meet disabled bodies and minds” (Feminist, Queer, Crip 27). 

Topics may include but are not limited to:

• Literary Theories/Analysis

This panel seeks to examine historical and contemporary iterations of feminist and queer coalition building, focusing on the capacities and frailties of political work to build community and power across time and space. Topics of interest include social movement memory and archives as political tools, intersections of academic and activist feminisms and queer politics, the incorporation and institutionalization of grassroots politics, and neocolonial discourses and practices within American feminist and queer projects globally. Drawing on the conference theme, the panel invites papers which examine grounded knowledge production from a variety of perspectives.

About the Project

Introduction

The School explores the legacy of Fascism in Italy blending unique in situ visits to art, architecture and historical monuments led by international experts and classes on literature, film and culture led by Sapienza faculty. The goal is to broaden the scholarly assessment of the period and to suggest innovative curricula for students in the humanities, who are also interested in working in museums and cultural institutes in Italy and abroad. The heritage of Fascism in Rome and Italy will be approached in the context of Nazism and Stalinism, and framed within the broader scenario of European colonialism.
