<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The 11<sup>th</sup> meeting of the Luce Irigaray Circle is a three-day interdisciplinary conference devoted to the scholarship and creative work on, or inspired by, the thought
of Luce Irigaray. Luce Irigaray’s work has influenced scholarship across multiple fields including Philosophy, Gender Studies, Queer Theory, Trans Studies, Literary Studies, Indigenous Studies, Classics, Religious Studies, Political Theory, Linguistics, Art,
Architecture, Music, Performance Studies, and Legal Theory, etc. The Circle cultivates a space for honoring and interrogating the question of sexual difference by supporting the multiple research trajectories, methods, and projects inspired by Irigaray’s thought. </span><span style="font-size:13.5pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">This year’s conference draws its theme from Irigaray’s invocations of the <i>threshold</i>, evoking notions of limits, boundaries, intervals, crossings, and expansions, that
constitute and are constitutive of differences. The theme of thresholds gestures to the materiality and porosity of borders in Irigaray’s work and is meant to encourage consideration of Irigaray’s work in relation to the contestation of bodies as sites of
the production and reproduction of knowledges. While the Circle welcomes all submissions that explore the work of Luce Irigaray, the theme of thresholds of difference solicits queer, trans, feminist, crip, critical race, de-colonial, and other perspectives
on Irigaray’s work in relation to the following topics:</span><span style="font-size:13.5pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
