The USF Department of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies invites the USF community to attend the Care and Joy in Precarious Times Conference on February 21, 2025, at the USF Tampa campus. This conference is sponsored by USF ResearchOne, USF College of Arts and Sciences, and the USF Department of Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. Registration is required: https://forms.gle/m659yBLidBZVYuo66.. . . . As Audre Lorde once wrote, “Caring for myself is not a self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.” Lorde was writing about living with breast and liver cancers and about her life and work as a queer Black woman. Honoring Lorde’s legacy in the contemporary moment asks us to rethink the possibilities of care and joy that emerge from authenticity, community, accountability, resistance, and resilience.. . . . Care & Joy in Precarious Times asks us to rethink questions such as: What does it mean to care for the self? How can we care for ourselves and one another responsibly? In what ways does joy show up in times of precarity? What kinds of self-reflection and responsibility do these uncertain times call for? In what ways are care and joy acts of resistance or preservation? In what ways are acts of care and joy mutually constituted? In what ways can acts/outcomes of care and joy transcend embodied labor? In what ways might care and joy be politicized? . . . . Full schedule of panels and events is available at: https://www.usf.edu/arts-sciences/departments/womens-gender-sexuality-studies/news-and-events/careconference.aspx.
