: Negotiations and Resistance," to be held at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles.

Possible papers might engage theories of space and/or specific spaces; literary or literal spaces; public or private

How are spaces transformed? How do spaces transform? What are the benefits and/or limitations of thinking of space in
terms of transformation?
