Creativity Within RevoltNovember 12-15, 2020 • Baltimore, Maryland

The 2020 Annual Meeting Theme, “Creativity Within Revolt,” calls on scholars, artists, and other intellectuals to rigorously engage the complex legacies of

rebellion, protest, survival, and revolution that confront various systems of oppressive violence, dehumanization and ecological degradation. We encourage participants to rigorously and critically address the terms of both “creativity” and “revolt,” while being attentive to what it means to inhabit the “within” of such collective work. What imaginative and practical possibilities are opened when people move against seemingly immovable systems of violent domination? Thoughtful and creative sessions will enhance our collective (and individual) capacities to engage in public-facing scholarly/pedagogical/creative work inline with the mission of the ASA. In addition to traditional panel and roundtable sessions, such proposals will include skill-sharing, critical solidarity making, activist research, artistic exhibition/demonstration/literacy, and other focused organizing efforts.
