Sovereign Pride: Decolonial Pathways to Liberation
✨33rd Annual Emerging Scholarship in Women's and Gender Studies Graduate Student Conference, at The University of Texas at Austin.✨
March 24-25, 2026
The Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies annual conference offers graduate students the opportunity to share their research with students and faculty, The University of Texas at Austin community, and WGSS community partners.
The 33rd Annual Emerging Scholarship in Women’s and Gender Studies Conference will be taking place on Tuesday and Wednesday, March 24th and 25th, 2026 in the Glickman Conference Center inside Patton Hall. Amidst government attempts to determine who belongs on stolen land, the upcoming conference will center on feminist land-based coalition and resilience. We seek to place this work in dialogue with work that challenges the settler colonial history and present in what is now publicly acknowledged as the United States. To do this, we are inviting dual keynote speakers with expertise in indigenous feminisms, Chicanx and Latinx feminisms, and feminist solidarity. The call for papers will be coming soon.
