Abstract
On Friday, March 11, the Women’s & Gender Studies Program hosted the annual No Limits Student Research Conference. This year’s theme was “Sexuality & Gender in the Digital Age,” and featured keynote speaker Dr. Meenakshi Gigi Durham, professor of journalism and women’s, gender, and sexuality studies at the University of Iowa. Dr. Durham’s talk, “Pleasure and Danger: Sex, Violence, and Ethics in the Age of Digital Media,” focused on the research from her forthcoming book, Technosex: Precarious Corporealities, Mediated Sexualities, and the Ethics of Embodied Technics.
At day’s end, 168 students, faculty, and community members from Nebraska and surrounding states attended some or all of the conference. There were nearly 40 presentations by students from UNL, UNO, and UNK, as well as Hastings College, Nebraska Wesleyan University, the University of South Dakota, Kansas State University, and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
