Abstract
On Friday, March 10, the Women’s & Gender Studies Program at the University of Nebraska Kearney hosted the annual No Limits Student Research Conference. This year’s conference featured Dr. Abby Ferber, professor of sociology and women’s and ethnic studies at the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs. Dr. Ferber’s talk, “The Politics of Hate: From the Mainstream to the Far Right,” focused on the role of masculinity in white nationalist ideology, and how these themes have become part of mainstream discourse as a result of the recent election.
In all, 44 students presented their work at the conference. In addition to UNO, UNL, and UNK, students and faculty came from Hastings College, the University of Wyoming, Kansas State University, the University of Iowa, and Nebraska Wesleyan University to participate in the conference. Fifteen graduate and undergraduate students from UNL shared their research, and Sophia Kallas, a first-year UNL honors student, won third place in the conference-wide competition for best paper.
