Northern Arizona University's du Bois Conference Center
Academic disciplines often push practitioners to divide the world into discrete categories. Category labels not only tell the researcher and the reader what constitutes a particular object of study, they delimit the boundaries of a discipline. This orthodoxy faces a counter-history that rejects sharp divisions, either on a disciplinary or a categorical level. As a result, cleavages between disciplines such as sociology, history, economics, and political science, are now under attack. This conference seeks to build upon these critiques by examining the middle ground between theoretical, ontological, epistemic, disciplinary, and methodological spaces in all academic disciplines.
This conference is designed to be inclusive. Graduate students from all academic disciplines are encouraged to participate.
We look forward to meeting you.
