>Rutgers University invites proposals on the theme of DISCIPLINARY
>BOUNDARIES for its 13th annual interdisciplinary graduate conference
>to be held at Rutgers University, New Brunswick, New Jersey on
>Friday, February 14, 2003. The keynote address will be delivered by
>historian Rachel P. Maines (Cornell), author of _The Technology of
>Orgasm: "Hysteria," the Vibrator, and Women's Sexual Satisfaction_.

>While disciplinary boundaries make knowledge possible, they can
>simultaneously impede scholarly investigation, police the production
>of knowledge, and delegitimize scholarship which expands or crosses
>those boundaries. We seek proposals which explore this phenomenon,
>which investigate a particular discipline's evolving definitions of
>"legitimate" knowledge over time. In addition, we encourage
>proposals from graduate students whose own scholarship either bears
>witness to the limiting effects of disciplinary boundaries, or
>expands, challenges and/or crosses prescribed boundaries.
>Interdisciplinary topics are welcome, as are submissions from across
>disciplines. Possible topics include but are not limited to:
>
>Legitimate versus illegitimate knowledge
>Paradigm shifts in the history of knowledge-production
>How disciplines police themselves
>Interdisciplinarity
>The ethics and politics of standards
>Intellectual freedom and professionalism
>Disciplinary taboos
>The nature of "evidence"
>The future of disciplines
