Current Projects

This symposium focuses on contemporary Andean feminisms, particularly the “art-law” collaborations that have been a component of many struggles for transformation in the region.

This inter-campus, interdisciplinary, and international research collaboration explores the politics of global partnerships and knowledge production within international education. The project centers global research collaborators who simultaneously play the roles of researchers and activists, as well as instructors and program staff for study abroad programs.

The Translation Studies Hub at the University of Washington aims to further coalesce interest in translation on campus and beyond by building on existing and emergent faculty and graduate student research projects, courses, and initiatives.

A tri-campus trans studies research cluster that brings together cross-disciplinary scholars, artists, and leaders in conversation around the intersections between critical trans studies and trans knowledge production both inside and outside of the academy.

This research cluster seeks to develop practices of intentional kin-making across Black, Indigenous, and Diasporic communities by explicitly engaging abolition as a practice that builds up non-punitive and non-hierarchical forms of knowledge production.

This conference and colloquium series seeks to advance understanding of incarceration as a global phenomenon by examining histories of carceral practices in Asia, the Near East, Africa and South America and decentering the Western and nation-state centric framework of prison studies.

This cluster will bring together graduate students from different academic departments and programs to explore various aspects of East Asia, especially boundary-breaking, cross-disciplinary approaches that challenge conventional and dominant mappings and theoretical frameworks.
