Hello all!

We are delighted to share with you the Call for Papers for the upcoming GRACLS conference this November. Our conference, entitled “Configurations of Place and Death,” draws from the writings of Achille Mbembe to ask participants to consider the ways in which necropolitics shape how places and spaces are conceptualized and administered. The ubiquity of necropower as a determining force in the various ways in which humans inhabit the planet calls on us to engage with necropolitics as they relate to a vast array of fields and disciplines. Please see the attached CFP for a more in-depth description of the conference theme and suggested topics.
