History In The Making 2022 — Pandemic at The Disco

Pandemic at the Disco: Bodies, Disruptions, Transformations.

History in the Making is a student-run conference coordinated annually by Concordia University graduate students for graduate students throughout the world. The conference provides emerging scholars with a platform to present their research, receive valuable input from panelists and conference attendees and ultimately refine their findings and strengthen their arguments. The conference also provides graduate students with an opportunity to network and forge friendships with other emerging scholars from across the continent and beyond. Founded in 1995 by Concordia PhD student Keith Lowther (lost due to AIDS complications in 1997), HITM 2022-Pandemic at the Disco marks the conference’s 27th year.

The conference will also include four guest presentations by prominent scholars:

• Ann Cvetkovich, professor and director of Women's and Gender Studies, The Pauline Jewett Institute, Carleton University
• Lucas LaRochelle, Canadian artist and designer of QT. BOT and Queering the Map, etc.
• Travis Williams, Teaching Faculty of Sociology, Virginia Commonwealth University
• Mark Bookman, Japanese disability historian and postdoc of Tokyo College, the University of Tokyo
