    “(Dis)junctions: The Center Does Not Hold” is the Ninth Annual Humanities
    Graduate Student Conference at the University of California, Riverside. It
    is a two day event, April 5-6, 2002, located on the Southern California
    campus in Riverside.

    We are currently accpeting abstracts on Mixed-Race studies. We are
    specifically interested in papers dealing with Mixed-Race literature,
    authors, and musicians. Some possible topics include but are not limited
    to:
    how are comtemporary and historical musical trends affected by the
    mixed-race identity of the musician?;
    what unique contribution do mixed-race authors make to the field of
    literature?;
    how is the subject position of the mixed-race person articulated in art,
    literature, history and/or music?;
    Interdisciplinary approaches to these topics are encouraged, though not
    necessary.

    Individual abstracts and abstracts for pre-formed panels of three should be
    sent to disjunctions@hotmail.com by February 15, 2002. The submissions
    should be no longer than 250 words for individual submissions and 750 for
    panel submissions. Applications sent via snail mail must arrive no later
    than February 15, 2002 and should be sent to:
