Hong – Design: Ebers Garcia  \n\nAbout the Workshop\n\n\nIn recent years\, scholars from across a variety of disciplinary fields have initiated studies exploring gender and intimacy across the U.S.-Mexico borderlands. Some of the most exciting and innovating work has begun to examine how notions of gender as well as masculinity and femininity shape emotional and personal relations with partners\, spouses\, children\, and extended family members and how those relationships\, in turn\, impact their experiences with migration\, community formation\, and their interactions with the state\, among other topics. \nBuilding on this rich emerging literature\, we solicit proposals for papers that explore deeply and widely themes of gender and intimacy as well as sexuality and identity in/on and across the U.S.-Mexico borderlands. We define gender and intimacy broadly. While we consider gender as the social and cultural roles assigned to biological males and females that construct them as a multiplicity of feminine and masculine subjects\, we treat intimacy as an emotional and personal expression of love and desire as well as affection between two or more people that is performed or enacted across a variety of spaces\, places\, and relationships\, including marriage\, courtship\, and the family as well as in homosocial relations and contexts. We also treat the U.S.-Mexico borderlands loosely\, regarding it as a region of diverse social\, political\, economic\, and cultural interactions\, inconsistencies\, contradictions\, conflicts\, and violence\, that is bisected by an international boundary separating and joining peoples of different genders\, races\, ethnicities\, classes\, and sexual orientations. \nTopics of Interest Include \n\nCourtship\, marriage\, and migration in the borderlands\nGender\, race\, and ethnicity in the borderlands\nFamily and community formation in the borderlands\nSexuality and intimacy in the borderlands\nSexual violence in the borderlands\nState power and practices regulating gender and intimacy in the borderlands\nMasculinity and manhood in the borderlands\nQueer bodies in the borderlands\nQueer and transgender activists and activism in the borderlands\n\nGoals of the Workshop\nOur goals are to bring together scholars of all ranks (including graduate students) who are willing to share their work\, provide constructive feedback to fellow presenters\, and publish their papers. After the workshop\, we plan to invite all participants to submit revised papers for consideration in a Special Issue of the Pacific Historical Review\, pending peer and editorial review. Note: The editor of the journal will attend the workshop to see the work in progress. \nLogistics of the Workshop & Keynote Speaker\nAll selected workshop participants will receive complimentary accommodations for one night near the UCSB campus. Transportation between the accommodations and the UCSB campus will also be provided. Dinner the evening before the event as well as a continental breakfast and lunch the day of the event are also included. Transportation costs to UCSB from home institutions are not included. \n\nSchedule\n\n\nSCHEDULE\nSeptember 30\, 2016\n\n5:00-5:15 pm: Welcome & Introduction\, Sharon Farmer\, Chair & Professor\, History\n5:15-6:00 pm: Keynote Speaker\, Dr. Alexandra M.
