************

The theme for this year’s CED is “undisciplined.” The theme focuses on alternative approaches, methods, ways of thinking, and modes of inquiry that undisciplined work demands of researchers, writers, and readers. Undisciplinarity is a methodological tool that refuses to privilege disciplined forms of thinking and writing and seriously engages creative, experimental, affective, and embodied forms of knowledge. Focusing on global genealogies of colonial conquest, racial slavery, racial capitalism, and binaries of gender and sexuality, the task is to better understand both the ways undisciplined work challenges conventional archives – and the conditions that make this scholarly work necessary. Ultimately, the program explores the possibilities of undisciplining as a move towards thinking otherwise, in the academy and beyond.
