Abstract
“No Limits”—the annual student conference we share with the WGS Programs at UNK and UNO—returns to UNL! We invite proposals from undergraduates, graduate students, and recent graduates on any topic from any discipline related to women’s issues, lives, histories or cultures; feminism; or women’s and gender studies. Creative writing, visual arts, film, music, performances, workshops, and academic papers are all welcome. Proposals for individual presentations or premade panels are accepted.
While papers and panels can address a variety of themes, this year’s keynote speaker is Shireen Ghorbani. A UNL alum, Ghorbani earned her MA in Communication Studies with a specialization in Women’s and Gender Studies. She was the Democratic nominee for Congress in Utah’s second district and was featured on the cover of Time magazine about her grassroots movement to office. Shireen was one of the 256 women candidates for both the House and the Senate in the 2018 election. This is a record number of women to run for Congress in American history.
