whiteness conference

09May11

We encourage submissions which consider the various ways in which whites enter and encounter the non-West (as settlers, scholars, tourists, diplomats, soldiers, aid workers, missionaries, and so on) and how they have understood, deployed, and/or elided their whiteness. We also seek papers that will examine how indigenous populations (service workers, sex workers, Christian converts, colonial and corporate subalterns, and so on) experience, resist, mimic, reproduce, and discuss the whiteness in their midst.
