San Francisco Rights Conference
San Francisco State University will host a conference September 16–17, 2010, exploring the question and place of rights in history, politics, and society. The deadline for papers and proposals is March 15, 2010. We welcome papers on assertions of rights by insurgent groups, resistance to rights claims, and governmental efforts to suppress or promote rights, in areas including: civil liberties; disability rights; labor and economic rights; feminism and antiracism; immigration; environmental justice; access to healthcare; the prison industrial complex; sexual orientation; the stateless; and human rights. We invite proposals for individual papers, panels, or round tables. Proposals should consist of an abstract of 1,000 words for panel and workshop proposals or 300 words for individual presentations and a one-page CV for each participant. Send proposals to Christopher Waldrep, Department of History, San Francisco State University, San Francisco, CA 94132 or via e-mail to cwaldrep@sfsu.edu.
