All day, Friday 9 May 2014 - Sunday 11 May 2014

Place: Birkbeck College, London.

This conference ‘Inside/Outside/In-Between: Perspectives on Space, Power and Subjectivities’ provides the opportunity for PhD students from a range of disciplines to present and discuss their on-going work.

Keynote speakers are Veena Das (Johns Hopkins University) and Gail Lewis (Birkbeck).

The central theme of this conference is the idea of “space”. To exist inside a space conjures images of confinement, or conveys the notion of being at home. Being on the “outside” invokes ideas of exile or freedom. “In-between” conjures ideas about the ability to traverse different spaces, or to live in perpetual no-where-ness. The organisers are interested in not only how spaces may come to define and confine us, but also how we come to inhabit these spaces, and the range of movement that these spaces enable.
