| Each year, UMass English graduate students host a day-long conference featuring academic panels, creative presentations, round-table discussions, and a reception. The conference has grown from a smaller, department-based showcase of graduate student work and interests to a larger, interdisciplinary conference bringing together graduate students from outside departments and universities.
Last year, the 2009 Conference "Locating Public(s)" featured 29 presentations and hosted graduate students from UMass-Amherst, Columbia University, Harvard University, Brown University, New York University, and more. This year's conference, "Caught in the Act: Performance and Performativity," seeks to explore how performativity and performance intersect in everyday behaviors as well as in performances in literature, theatre, language, visual culture, and politics. The conference is open to graduate students in any field and from any university.
